Answer 2

A) 180.08 feet

Explanation:

The diagram depicting the situation is shown in the attachment.

From the diagram the height is f ft.

The side we are trying to find is opposite to the given angle which is
`42\degree`

We use the tangent ratio to obtain;

`\tan 42\degree=(f)/(200)`

We solve for f to get:

`f=200\tan 42\degree`

`f=180.08ft`
