Answer:

21.36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]h = 37m[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 60^o[/tex]

Required

The distance from the base (b)

The question illustrates right-angled triangle (see attachment)

To solve for (b), we make use of tangent formula

[tex]\tan(60)=\frac{h}{b}[/tex]

Make b the subject

[tex]b =\frac{h}{\tan(60)}[/tex]

So:

[tex]b =\frac{37}{\tan(60)}[/tex]

[tex]b =\frac{37}{1.7321}[/tex]

[tex]b =21.36[/tex]
