Answer:

50.1ft approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Height=14ft

Slant height= 52ft

Applying Pythagoras theorem, we can solve for the horizontal lenght

we know that

hyp^2= Opp^2+Adj^2---------- Pythagoras theorem

52^2=14^2+x^2

2704=196+x^2

2704-196=x^2

2508=x^2

x= √2508

x=50.07

Hence the horizontal distance is 50.1ft approx
