At a point 30 feet from the base of a tree, the angle formed with the ground looking to
the top measures 53. Find, to the nearest foot, the height of the tree.

Can someone help me?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40 feet to the nearest foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree , the distance from the base of the tree on the ground (30 ft) and the distance from this point to the top of the tree form a right triangle.

So if the height of the tree is h:

tan 53 = h / 30

h = 30 tan53

h = 39.81 feet.
