Answer:

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{SOH-CAH-TOA}

SOH-CAH-TOA

\tan X = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=\frac{x}{4.8}

tanX=  

adjacent

opposite

​  

=  

4.8

x

​  

 

\tan 65=\frac{x}{4.8}

tan65=  

4.8

x

​  

 

4.8\tan 65=x

4.8tan65=x

Cross multiply.

x=10.2936\approx \mathbf{10.3}\text{ feet}

x=10.2936≈10.3 feet

Type into calculator and round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
