Answer:

61.15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry :

Tan x = opposite / Adjacent

x = 28°

Tan 28 = distance from base to fire / height

0.5317094 = distance from base to fire / 115

distance from base to fire = 115 * 0.5317094

distance from base to fire = 61.15 m

j = 2x + 4       ......( For John )

We need to find in which week Aiden knows as many songs as John.

For this , a = j

x + 12 = 2x + 4

x = 8

Therefore, in 8th week both of them know the same number of songs.
