    1544.1 ft to the nearest tenth.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have a triangle where we have to find the hypotenuse and the opposite side to the given angle = 1200 feet.

    So we use the sine function (sin = opp / hyp).

    sin 51 = 1200 / h

    h = 1200 / sin 51

    h = 1544.111 ft.
