Question

A man 1.8 m tall observes the angle of elevation of a tree to be 26 degrees, if he is standing bf 16 m from the tree find the height of the tree

Answer 1

The height of the tree is the man's height plus x.

`\tan 26^(\circ)=(x)/(16)\\x = 16 \tan 26^(\circ)`

So, the height of the tree is
`\boxed{(16 \tan 26^(\circ)+1.8) \text{ m}}`
