Question

•64 m
•6.5 m
•16.5 m
•26m

Answer 1

6.494

Explanation:

For a right triangle, the tangent of an angle can be found by dividing its adjacent side by the opposite side (adjacent/opposite). In this case, the tangent of x is the side AC divided by the side CB (note that CB is also the height of the tree). We know that AC=10m so we get

tan(x) = tan(33) = 0.6494 = 10/CB

CB = 10*0.6494 = 6.494
