Question

if the angle of elevation from the point on the ground to the top of the tree is 34° and the point is 25 feet from the base of the tree what is the height of the tree? The answer is 16.9 but I need help with part 2 “if the tree grows an additional 10 feet, what is the new angle of the elevation from the point 25 feet from a he base of the tree to the top of the tree? A) 42.3° B) 47.1° C) 49.8° D) 54.6°

Answer 1

answer 1: 16.9 ft. Answer 2: 47.1°

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

tan34=h/25

h=25tan34

h=16.9

tanx=(16.9+10)/25

tanx=26.9/25

x=arctan(26.9/25)

x=47.1 degrees
