Answer:
5 units
Since they both have the same y value, just subtract the a value's x from the b's x value
The third box plot is your answer
The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft
Answer: 5210.18 ft
