Question

I NEED HELP ASAP AND CAN SOME ONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IT!

Mrs. Davis spots a bobcat in a tree at an angle of elevation of 49 degrees. If she is 60 feet away from the base of the tree, how tall is the tree?

Answer 1

`\large \boxed{\text{69.02 ft}}`

Explanation:

Answer:

Mrs. Davis is at Point A, and the bobcat is at Point C.

The tree makes a right angle with the ground.

`\begin{array}{rcl}\tan A & = &(BC)/(AB)\\\\\tan 49^(\circ) & = &(BC)/(60)\\\\1.150 & = &(BC)/(60)\\\\1.150 * 60 & = &BC\\\\BC& = & \textbf{69.02 ft}\\\end{array}\\\text{The tree is $\large \boxed{\textbf{69.02 ft}}$ tall.}`
