Answer:
14

Explanation:
The given triangle is a right-angled triangle. This means that special trig functions can be applied.
These functions are as follows:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent

Now, we have:
θ = 40°
opposite = 12 m
adjacent is the distance we want to find

Substitute with the givens in the tan formula to get the distance as follows:
tan (40) = 12 / distance
distance = 12 / tan (40)
distance = 14.3 which is approximately 14 m

Hope this helps :)
