For the answer to the question above, this is a right triangle problem using the tangent function. <span>Tan(x) = Opposite (O) / Adjacent (A) </span> <span>x = 40 degrees </span> <span>A = 30 ft </span> <span>Solve for O </span> <span>O= Tan (x) * A </span> <span>O = Tan (40) * 30 </span> <span>Use your calculator or whatever method to get the tangent of 40 degrees (which is .84) </span> <span>O = .84 * 30 </span> <span>O = 25.2 Ft</span>
