Hm I am actually not bad with trigonometry. You can solve it with sinus this way:
∠α = tan(40/30) ≈53.13°
sin(α) = sin(53.13°) =0.8
30*0.8 = 24 (since sin gives the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse)
∠α = tan(40/30) ≈53.13°
sin(α) = sin(53.13°) =0.8
30*0.8 = 24 (since sin gives the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse)
