Hi Bob,
Why don't you try and work it out yourself?

bob:

ok got it its 23 ft away

I don't think so Bob.
Your question was a little different from the one in the example

I think that it is

4 * 260 = d * 80

Look back at the page I sent you to and see if you can work out why the questions are a bit different from each other.

Oh and thank you for answering the other person's question.
