Answer:  383.30 feet

========================================================

Explanation:

The drawing is shown below.

Notice that 23 + 67 = 90, or you could say 90-67 = 23.

Use the tangent ratio to find x.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(23) = x/903

x = 903*tan(23)

x = 383.300759 approximately

x = 383.30
