If they're asking the distance between the tree and the man's shadow, that would be 12ft and if they're asking the distance between the tree and the actually man, that would be 15ft :).
Subtract 128.5 from 180 degrees and you get 51.5. Then add 51.5 plus 13, you get 64.5. Subtract 64.5 from 180 and you get 115.5. A triangle's angles all added together equals 180.
