The answer would be 9.57 ft.

For this, you would first need to make a diagram. After doing so, you would need to figure out what formula to use. The formula I used was
tan(28) (x)/(18). Then you would multiply the 18 to the other side to get the x by itself. After using that formula, you would find that the answer is 9.57.

Hope this helped :)
