Answer:
x ≈ 25.4 Km
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle on the right
tan54° = =
( multiply both sides by 17 )
17 × tan54° = opp , thus
opp ≈ 23.4
-------------------------------------------
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle on the left
cos23° = =
( multiply both sides by x )
x × cos23° = 23.4 ( divide both sides by cos23° )
x = ≈ 25. 4 Km ( to the nearest tenth )
