You can solve this using proportions.  There are two triangles in this diagram, which appear to be similar.  

67.2 - 32       67.2
------------ = ---------  results in    67.2x = 81.9(67.2-32)
       x           81.9                                  = 2882.88
                       
                 2882.88
Then x = ------------- = 42.9 (answer, units of measurement are "meters")
                     67.2
