in a certain movie theater, the bottom edge of the 15 foot tall screen at the front is 5 feet above eye level. suppose we wish to sit so that the angle theta is as large as possible. how far should we sit from the screen?
so i made a diagram of what i am supposed to be looking for....

15|...\ ...t=theta.

5.|.......\..\

okay so what i dont understand is how i am supposed to incorperate x and theta into the same problem..i hope what i said makes sense...thanks for the help..
