$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ -2}} &,&{{ -1}}~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~{{ -4}} &,&{{ -7}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{-7-(-1)}{-4-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{-7+1}{-4+2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-6}{-2}\implies 3$

A student stands 20 m away from the foot

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Height of tree is $\approx$ 15 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that student is 20 m away from the foot of tree.

and table is 1.5 m above the ground.

The angle of elevation is: 34°28'

Please refer to the attached image. The given situation can be mapped to a right angled triangle as shown in the image.

AB = CP = 20 m

CA = PB = 1.5 m

$\angle C$ = 34°28' = 34.46°

To find TB = ?

we can use trigonometric function tangent to find TP in right angled $\triangle TPC$

$tan \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\tan C= \dfrac{PT}{PC}\\\Rightarrow tan 34.46^\circ = \dfrac{PT}{20}\\\Rightarrow PT = 20 \times 0.686 \\\Rightarrow PT = 13.72\ m$
