Do you have a formula for this?

Follow your right angle triangle laws. For this question we will use the Tangent rule. Tangent Rule : Tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent.

 

So : Tan19 = Opposite/32 (Multiply 32 by both sides to take the 32 out of the denominator)

        32 * Tan19 = Opposite (Evaluate in calculator)

        11.01 = Opposite (Which is the height)

for some reason, I didn't know how to answer, because it tripped me when it said "Degrees" :/
