Respuesta :

The horizontal distance from Jayden to the bridge will be equal to 845.17 feets.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which set up a relationship between the sides and angle of the right-angle triangles.

Given that:-

The angle of elevation of 42⁰

The bridge stands 761 feet above

Here the horizontal distance will be calculated as:-

[tex]x= \dfrac{761}{tan42}=845.187\ feet\\[/tex]

Therefore the horizontal distance from Jayden to the bridge will be equal to 845.17 feet.
