Answer 1

The answer is C it won’t let me do all the steps but I hope it helps

Answer 2

Hello There!!

Given

$\text{Length of the tree= 25 feet} \\ \text{Angle of Elevation= 30°}$

To Find

$\text{Height Of The Tree}$

$\text{Let The Height of the Tree be ‘x’}$

We Know:-

$\tan\theta = \frac{ \text{perpendicular}}{ \text{base} }$

$\tan \theta = \frac{ \text{height of the tree}}{ \text{length of the base}} \\ \\ \implies \tan30 = \frac{ \text{x}}{25} \\ \\ \implies \text{x }= 25 \times \tan30 \\ \\ \implies \text{x }= 25 \times 0.577 \\ \\ \implies \text{x} = 14.425 \\ \\ \implies \text{x} = 14.43$

$\therefore \text{height of the tree(\text{x})} = \red{14.43 \: \text{feet}}$

Option C is the correct answer

Hope This Helps!!
