    we will isolate that right triangle marked off with the little angle thing.

    We know that, in that right triangle, one of the legs measures 22 ft, and the angle (adjacent) to it, meausres 9.2 degreesIn this case, tan9.2 = x/22 where x is that unkown length

    cross multiply.

    your final answer is equal to x+5.6
