Question

A tree casts a shadow that is 18 feet in length. If the angle of elevation is 28 degrees, which of the following best represents the height of the tree?

Answer 1

to find the height

 multiply the length of shadow by the tangent of the angle

18 * tan(28)  =9.5708

 the tree is around 9.6 feet tall

Answer 2

The angle of elevation is the angle at which the object is viewed from below.  The height of the tree is 8,45feet

Angle of elevation

The angle of elevation is the angle at which the object is viewed from below.

If  tree casts a shadow that is 18 feet in length at the angle of 28 degrees, the height is calculated as:

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 28 = H/18
H = 18sin28
H = 8.45 feet

Hence the height of the tree is 8,45feet
