The angle of elevation made by the string on the ground is 44 degrees. The distance from the bottom of the string to the base of three Is 90 feet. What is the helght of the tree?

Answer 1

To find the length of the tree, x we use trigonometric ratio

`\tan \text{ 44 =}\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{opposite = x } \\ \text{adjacent = 90ft} \\ \text{tan 44=}(x)/(90) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Tan 44 x 90 = x} \\ x\text{ = 86.912 ft} \end{gathered}`

The height of the tree= 86.912ft
