The average commute to work (one way) is 25 minutes according to the 2005 American Community Survey. If we assume that commuting
times are normally distributed and that the standard deviation is 6.1 minutes, calculate the probability that a randomly selected commuter spends for the following cases. 1. More than 31 minutes commuting one way.
2. Less than 8 minutes commuting one way.
So to find this we must use cos(41.5 degrees) so the equation is cos(41.5)=x/25 we times both sides by 25. We also find out what cos 41.5 is in this step. so 0.75x25 = x. Therefore x=18.8. the house is 18.8 feet tall
