20.9 ft
This is a right triangle trigonometry question because N is 90 degrees. MN is adjacent to M and LM is the hypotenuse. Adjacent any hypotenuse use the cosine function.
$cos \theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}$
plug in known values
$cos(17) = \frac{20}{x}$
switch cos(20) and x using the products property
$x = \frac{20}{cos(17)}$
plug into calculator to get 20.9 ft

Answer:

Since there are 4.5*10^2 grams of trash per day per person, we multiply that by 3.2*10^6 for everyone in the US and then multiply that by 365 to get how much in a year, which is 525600000000 or 5.256*10^11 (I think it's 11)
