Question

A tree is leaning at a 5° angle from vertical, making an 85° angle with the ground. when the sun is at a 65° angle of elevation, the tree casts a 25-foot shadow. what is the approximate length of the tree? 23 ft. 27 ft. 45 ft. 50 ft.

Answer 1

using the law of sines, the approximate length of the tree is calculated as: C. 45 ft.

What is the Law of Sines?

The law of sines is given as: sin A/a = sin B/b = sin C/c, which is used to solve a triangle.

Given the following:

• H = the length of the tree = ? (b)
• Let sin A = 30°
• a = 25
• Sin B = 65°

Apply the law of sines

sin 30/25 = sin 65/H

H = (sin 65 × 25)/sin 30

H ≈ 45 ft.
