first use small triangle and mark base with d

use tan(37)  and express d in terms of x and tan(37)


tan(37) =x/d


d=x/tan(37)


then the greater triangle have a base  80+x/tan(37)


so,

tan(18) =x/(80+x/tan(37) )

tan(18)*(80+x/tan(37) ) =x

80tan(18)+x(tan(18)/tan(37) ) =x

25.994+0.4x =x

25.994=x-0.4x

25.994=0.6x

x=25.994/0.6

x=43.3ft


2. follow 1. and do it same way
