Answer:
y = 242.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
Use sine:
[tex]sine=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
We have a measure of the angle and length of the hypotenuse:
[tex]\alpha=29^o,\ hypotenuse=500\ ft[/tex]
[tex]\sin29^o\approx0.48481[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\dfrac{y}{500}=0.48481[/tex] multiply both sides by 500
[tex]y=242.405\to y\approx242.4[/tex]
