Question

At a point on the ground 46 feet from the foot of a tree, the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 68°. What is the height of the tree?

Answer 1

you’ll want to use pythagorean theorem and imagine a triangle. you’ll need a2+b2=c2
46^2+x^2=68^2
2116+x^2=4624
x^2=2508
then you’ll need to square on both side
x=50.08
the height of the tree is 50.08
