First by looking at the picture option A and C are automatically eliminated, Leaving us with either B.100 or D.200. We can start out with the function of tan(x)= sin(x)/cos(x) in this case our tan (x), x in 90 degree, and our sin would be unknown and our cos would be 50. now in order to get  sin (x) by itself we need to multiply tan(90)*(50) which will give us about -99.8, since the y is positive we need the answer positive by doing that we get 99.8 feet. When we round it our answer will be B.100.
