Find x.
Round to the nearest tenth:
500 ft
S
у
x = [ ? ]ft

Answer:
x = 437.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle of elevation = angle of depression = 29°
Reference angle = 29°
Adjacent side = x
Hypotenuse = 500
Applying trigonometric ratio, we have:
Cos 29 = x/500
Multiply both sides by 500
500*cos 29 = x
437.309854 = x
x = 437.3 ft (nearest tenth)
