    Answer: 87 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The angle between the pilling is 60°

    The adjacent side of the right angle is 150

    So let the distance between the pilling be y, that is opposite side.

    Opposite / adjacent = tan (60°)

    y / 150 = tan (60)

    y * tan (60°) = 150

    Divide both side by tan (60°)

    y = 150 / tan (60°)

    y = 150 / 1.7321

    y = 87 feet
