The height of the tree to the nearest hundredth is 122.49 feet

<h3>Application of SOH CAH TOA</h3>

These are used to determine the sides and angle of a right triangle

Given

Angle of elevation= 54 degrees

Base distance = 89 feet

Required

Height of tree

Using the SOH CAH TOA

tan 54 = H/89

H = 89tan54

H = 122.49

Hence the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth is 122.49 feet
