The height of the tree, which Pat needs to determine, before cutting it down to be sure that it will not fall on a nearby fence is 111 ft.

<h3>What is right angle triangle property?</h3>

In a right angle triangle, the ratio of the opposite side to the base side is equal to the tangent angle between them.

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{b}{a}$

Here, (b) is the opposite side, (a) is the base side.

Pat needs to determine the height of a tree before cutting it down to be sure that it will not fall on a nearby fence.

The angle of elevation of the tree from one position on a flat path from the tree is

$H=40^o$

From a second position,

$I=60\rm\; ft$

Farther along this path it is,

$b=30^o$

Let the distance between tree and first position is x. Thus, from the trigonometry,

$\tan 40=\dfrac{h}{x}\\h=x\tan 40$ ....1

The distance between tree and second position is (x+60) ft. Thus, again from the trigonometry,

$\tan 30=\dfrac{h}{x+60}\\h=(x+60)\tan 40$ ......2

Compare the equation 1 and 2,

$x\tan (40)=(x+60)\tan 30\\0.839x=0.577x+34.64\\0.839x-0.577x=34.64\\x=\dfrac{34.64}{0.262}\\x=132.25\rm\; ft$

Put this value in equation 1 as,

$h=(132.25)\times \tan40\\h\approx111\rm\;ft$

Thus, the height of the tree, which Pat needs to determine, before cutting it down to be sure that it will not fall on a nearby fence is 111 ft.

Finger [1]

The easiest way to do this is calculate the probability that all drives crash, and subtract that from one. The first one is .06 squared subtracted from 1, so it’s .9964 or 99.64%. The second one is .06 cubed subtracted from 1, so it’s .9998, or 99.98 %
