Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the trigonometry ratio, tan46° = opposite side / adjacent . The horizontal distance between the spectator and the mascot is the adjacent. Therefore, tan46°= 35/x which is the adjacent. Using your log tables, tan46° = 1.0355; x = 35/1.0355

X = 33.80feet, therefore the horizontal distance is 33.80 feet.
