Answer: 22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that there are two right triangles in the figure attached: ACD and BCD. Where "h" is the height of the chimeney  from John's eye level to the top of the chimney.

You need to use the trigonometric identity tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} for this exercise.

  • For the triangle BCD:

tan(45\°)=\frac{h}{x}

Solve for h:

h=xtan(45\°)\\h=x

  • For the triangle ACD:

tan(30\°)=\frac{h}{x+16}

Substitute h=x and solve for h:

tan(30\°)=\frac{h}{h+16}\\\\(h+16)(tan(30\°))=h\\\\0.577h+9.237=h\\\\9.237=h-0.577h\\\\9.237=0.423h\\\\h=\frac{9.237}{0.423}\\\\h=21.836ft

Rounded to the nearest foot:

h=22ft
