Answer:

The answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Tangent Rule, tanθ = opposite/adjacent. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the formula :

[tex]tan(θ) = \frac{oppo.}{adj.} [/tex]

[tex]let \: θ = 25.7 \: , \: oppo. = h \: , \: adj. = 532[/tex]

[tex] \tan(25.7) = \frac{h}{532} [/tex]

[tex]532 \tan(25.7) = h[/tex]

[tex]h = 256 \: feet \: (3s.f)[/tex]
I think it should be 479
