    The answer to your question is 43 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    angle = Ф = 35°

    length = 75 ft

    height = ?

    Process

    To solve this problem, use trigonometric functions. The trigonometric function that relates the Opposite side (height) and the hypotenuse (length) is sine.

    sin Ф = Height / length

    -Solve for height

    height = length x sin Ф

    -Substitution

    height = 75 x sin 35

    -Simplification

    height = 75 x 0.574

    -Result

    height = 43 ft
