i really need help i only got 20 minutes left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use sin60 = x / 132.

OpenStudy (dls):

sin60=x/132

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use sin60 = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse..

OpenStudy (dls):

114.312 metres.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \sin60 = \frac{x}{132}\] \[x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 132 \implies \sqrt{3} \times 66\] Solve this to get the answer..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 114.31
