From a point on the ground 47 feet from the foot of a tree the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 45 degrees find the height of the tree to the nearest foot

Respuesta :

Answer:

47 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan is opposite/adjacen

tan 45 will always be equal to one so

1= x/47

47=x

base =47 f

theta =45°

now

tan theta = P/b

45° = P/47

1 = P/47

cross multiplying

1×47 = P

47 = P

thus, the height of the tree to the nearest foot is 47 feet respectively.
