Answer:

173.20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \tan \: 30 \degree = \frac{length \: of \: tunnel}{depth \: of \: tunnel} \\ \\ \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{length \: of \: tunnel}{300} \\ \\ length \: of \: tunnel \\ \\ = \frac{300}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ = \frac{300 \sqrt{3} }{3} \\ \\ = 100 \sqrt{3} \\ \\ = 100 \times 1.7320 \\ \\ = 173.20 \: ft[/tex]
