Answer: 19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side
Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.
Replacing with the values given:
tan40 = 16/x
Solving for x
x =16/tan40
x= 19 ft
