Question

The angle of elevation to a nearby tree from a point on the ground is measured to be 54^{\circ} ∘ . How tall is the tree if the point on the ground is 89 feet from the tree? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot if necessary.

Answer 1

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

Application of SOH CAH TOA

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
