Greg is making a triangular sail for a boat, shaped like a right triangle and shown below.

 

The angle opposite the 120-foot side measures about 65.2°. Greg would like to make a second sail. This one will still be a right triangle with a 50-foot side as one leg, but the 120-foot side will be shortened until the angle opposite that side is about 10°. By about how many feet will Greg need to shorten the 120-foot side?

(Note: sin 10° ≈ .17, cos 10° ≈ .98, tan 10° ≈ .18)
