400 feet

200 feet

600 feet

800 feet

Answer 2

help please ?

Answer 3

Ok first you need to find the distance between the zoo and point G. Use the tangent ratio to solve for that length. You will find it to be 200. Then, you can label your diagram as such to find the distance between the zoo and the library. Like this:

Answer 4

now you set up a tangent ratio for the 30 degree angle like this:
