Answer:
242.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle immediately adjacent to the 29° angle is (90° - 29°) , or 61°.
The cosine function relates this 61° angle to the 500 ft hypotenuse and the unknown adjacent side y:
y
cos 61° = -----------
500 ft
so that y = (500 ft)(cos 61°) = (500 ft)(cos 61°) = (500 ft)(0.485) = 242.4 ft
