Answer:
y ≈ 242.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle on the right of the triangle = 29° ( alternate angle )
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin29° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y}{500}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 500 )
500 × sin29° = y , then
y ≈ 242.4 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
