Question

the distance from the person to the top of the tree round to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

The height of tree is h = 30 feet.

The distance of base of tree from the person is b = 10 feet

Determine the value of c by using the pythagoras theorem.

$\begin{gathered} c^2=(10)^2+(30)^2 \\ =100+900 \\ c=\sqrt[]{1000} \\ =31.62 \\ \approx32 \end{gathered}$

So answer is 32 feet.
