The distance from the tower to the fire is 529.10feet

<h3>Angle of depression</h3>

The distance from the tower to the fire is the hypotenuse of the resulting triangle

Given the following

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin 12 = 110/H

H = 110/sin12

H = 110/0.2079

H = 529.10

Hence the distance from the tower to the fire is 529.10feet
