    For the answer to the question above, this is a right triangle problem using the tangent function.

    Tan (x) = Opposite (O) / Adjacent (A)

    x = 40 degrees

    A = 30 ft

    Solve for O

    O = Tan (x) * A

    O = Tan (40) * 30

    Use your calculator or whatever method to get the tangent of 40 degrees (which is. 84)

    O =.84 * 30

    O = 25.2 Ft
