Answer: 102 foot / feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the unit rate . . . what is 24 divided by 20 ? 1.2/1

Second, multiply . . . what is 1.2 x 85 ? 102

( sorry if this is wrong - I forgot how to do the second part for a sec )

ANSWER

$x = 50.5 \degree$

EXPLANATION

We use the sine rule for solving triangles.

This is given by the formula,

$\frac{ \sin(A) }{a} = \frac{ \sin(B) }{b} = \frac{ \sin(C) }{c}$

From the triangle,

$\frac{ \sin(x) }{60} = \frac{ \sin(40) }{50}$

We multiply both sides of the equation by 60 to get,

$sin(x) = \frac{ 60\sin(40 \degree) }{50}$

$sin(x) = 0.7713$

We solve for x to obtain,

$x = arcsin(0.7713)$

$x = 50.475$

To the nearest tenth, we round to one decimal place to get,

$x = 50.5 \degree$
