107.75m
This is a trigonometric ratio problem. the angle of depression (10) is opposite the height (19m) and the distance is adjacent to the distance (x). opposite ad adjacent sides to the angle is a tangent problem.
tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}
plus in values, we know.
tan (10) = \frac{19}{x}
switch tan(10) and x using the products property.
x = \frac{19}{tan (10)}
plug in to calulator to get answer
x=107.75
