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

  1. Substitute: tan24° = h/26
  2. Multiply both sides by 26: 26tan24° = h
  3. Rewrite: h = 26tan24°
  4. Evaluate: h = 11.5759
