check the picture below.


make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

now, Charlie's eyes are 5.2' from the ground, however the distance from his eyes over the horizontal and the ground over the horizontal, is the same, so taking the tan(32°) at his eyes level will give that horizontal distance.

speed=15km/hour

Hence the average speed is 15km/h
