Can anyone help me with this one? Thanks in advance!

A hedgehog wishes to cross a road without being run over. He observes the angle of elevation of a lamp post on the other side of the road to be 27 from the edge of the road and 15 from a point 10m back from the road. How wide is the road? If he can run 1m/s, how long will he take to cross?

It's okay, it happens all the time. It's the price you pay for not looking perfect to everyone. Good day to you too! :)
