Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
This problem requires the use of trigonometric functions, specifically the tangent trig function.
Plug in the values.
Multiply by x to both sides, then divide by tan(40) to both sides.
Now, plug this into a calculator and rounded to the nearest whole number (foot).
x = 9534.0287
x = 9534 ft.
The answer is 9534 ft., the last option.

<h3>17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let x = number of heavy equipment operators employed
Then,
31 - x = number of laborers employed
From given,
Pay of heavy equipment operators = $ 138 per day
Pay of general labours = $ 93 per day
Payroll was $3648
Therefore,
number of heavy equipment operators x Pay of heavy equipment operators + number of laborers employed x Pay of general labours = 3648
138x + 93(31 - x) = 3648
138x + 2883 - 93x = 3648
45x = 3648 - 2883
45x = 765
x = 17
Thus,
31 - x = 31 - 17 = 14
Therefore, 17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed
