Answer:
d. 12 m
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- tan∅ = opposite over adjacent
Explanation:
Step 1: Identify
The drawing states that we are looking for the height of the tree.
h = unknown
horizontal length = 26
∅ = 24°
We will have to use tangent to solve for the missing length
Step 2: Solve for h
- Substitute: tan24° = h/26
- Multiply both sides by 26: 26tan24° = h
- Rewrite: h = 26tan24°
- Evaluate: h = 11.5759
