Answer:

This is because mathematics uses some theories that helps to change words to equations. for example, a tree of height 50m makes a shadow on the ground. an observer standing at angle of 30 degrees, calculate the distance of the man to the tree. we use the the formula, tan (30)=opp/adj

$1 \div \sqrt{3 } = 50 \div x$

$x = 50 \sqrt{3} m$
