Answer:

24.02 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.

We have the angle between the base and the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We have the height of the triangle.

We want to calculate the base of the triangle.

Then I'll let you find the equations! Hopefully this helped
