At a point on the ground 46 feet from the foot of a tree, the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 48 degrees. What is the height of the tree to the nearest foot?
sin(48) sin(90) ----------- = ------------------ x 46
46sin(48) = x x = 34.18466197 ft or x = 34 feet
-solved using the law of sine. (Works best if you draw a triangle and see my formula to see how it was done but I am able to do it by picturing it in my mind
