Answer:

90.67feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that α = 20°

Tan α = opp/adj......... 1

Opp = 33feet

Adj = x

Substitute the values into equation 1

Tan 20° = 33feet/adj

0.36397 = 33/adj

0.36397×adj = 33

Adj = 33/0.36397

Adj = 90.666

Recall, adj = x = 90.666feet

x = 90.67feet

Hence, the whale is 90.67feet far from the eyes
