Grain elevators are conveyor belts used throughout the Midwest to transport grain, like corn, to the top of a grain bin for storage. If the conveyor belt makes a 56-degree angle with the ground and the base of the conveyor belt is 21 yards from the grain bin. How tall is the grain bin? (Please use the exact ratio to calculate the missing side and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.) The grain bin is Lyards tall.
