42.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture (see attachment)

Given: angle = 25°, hypotenuse = 100, opposite = ???

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\quad \rightarrow \quad \sin25^o=\dfrac{y}{100}\quad \rightarrow \quad 100\ \sin 25^o=y\\$

$\large\boxed{42.3\ ft}=y$

It is horizontal I believe because if you were to flip it horizontally then it would be symmetrical
