Answer:

[tex]26.68\ \text{feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 100 feet

[tex]\angle B=20^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle C=45^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle A=180-(20+45)=115^{\circ}[/tex]

From sine rule we have

[tex]\dfrac{\sin B}{b}=\dfrac{\sin A}{a}\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{\sin B}{\sin A}a\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{\sin 20^{\circ}}{\sin 115^{\circ}}\times 100\\\Rightarrow b=37.73\ \text{feet}[/tex]

[tex]\sin C=\dfrac{h}{b}\\\Rightarrow h=b\sin C\\\Rightarrow h=37.73\times \sin 45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow h=26.68\ \text{feet}[/tex]

The is seagull is [tex]26.68\ \text{feet}[/tex] above the ground.
