tan(72)= \frac{y}{x}  ; tan(55)= \frac{y}{2.2 + x}
y=xtan(72);y=(2.2+x)tan(55)
So we are to merge the two equations into one, since both of the equations are equal to y. a = b, b = c therefore, a = c.
xtan(72)=2.2tan(55)+xtan(55)
We are to isolate x.
x[tan(72)-tan(55)]=2.2tan(55)
x=\frac{2.2tan(55)}{tan(72)-tan(55)}
The value of x is approximately, 1.9047m
Then, substitute the value of x from y=xtan(72)
y=1.9047tan(72)
y = 5.862m
Round up, then the answer would be D.
