Draw a diagram. You can see that if the mast (not your mouth!) has height h, and the distance to the house is x, then
(h+12-1.9)/x = tan65°
(12-1.9)/x = tan41°
eliminate x, and you have
(h+12-1.9) cot65° = (12-1.9)cot41°
Solve for h, and use that to find x.
(h+12-1.9)/x = tan65°
(12-1.9)/x = tan41°
eliminate x, and you have
(h+12-1.9) cot65° = (12-1.9)cot41°
Solve for h, and use that to find x.
