Answer:
40 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles is 180.
A 100 degree angle cannot be a base angle because then
the sum of the base angles would be 200 degrees.
The 100 must be the vertex angle.
Equation:
x + x + 100 = 180
2x = 80
x = 40 degrees.
Each of the base angles is 40 degrees.

To illustrate the problem, refer to the following diagram, made with the ever-helpful notepad application:
|\ | \ | \h| \ | \ | \ |_____q\ x
Pretending as if that is a wonderfully-drawn triangle, we are given the distance x of the observer from the launch pad. The angle q is also stated, and is located in the diagram as shown. To look for the distance h of the tip of the rocket to the ground, we consider the following trigonometry function:
tan q = h/x
Since we are solving for h, we multiply both sides with x, giving us:
h = x * tan q
Among the choices, the correct answer is C.
