She measures the angle from point F to point H to be 78º north of east. Find the distance across the lake to the nearest tenth of a foot. a.148.8 feet b.256.9 feet c.3,293.2 feet d.62,485.8 feet

@Luigi0210 it's ok if u dont know :P

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Use \(\Large tan~78^○\) to find GH.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

You have \(\ GF=700 ft\) Just solve \(\LARGE tan~78^○ =\frac{GH}{700}\) Multiply by 700. \(\LARGE 700(tan~78^○)=GH\) \(3,293.241077=GH\) Or \(\LARGE 3,293.2ft\) ~From @Luigi0210~
