We can use the tangent to find this......we have the opposite side and we're looking for the adjacent side.....so we have

tan(58°) = 25 / adj   

.....so......multiplying both sides by "adj" and dividing both sides by tan(58°), we have

adj = 25 / tan(58°) = 15.62 ft.

Great, you found the link.

To add this as a picture click reply (or click edit to your first post), then click 

Then in the box next to "Image URL" type in that link you just posted

Then click the blue "Ok" box, and the picture should appear on your post!
