The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet

Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with side lengths labeled a, b, and c.
Triangle A B C is an equilateral triangle. The length of side A B is c, the length of B C is a, and the length of A C is b.
Trigonometric area formula: Area = One-half a b sine (C)
Which expressions represent the area of triangle ABC? Select three options.
a c sine (60 degrees)
One-half b c sine (60 degrees)
One-half a squared sine (60 degrees)
StartFraction a squared b sine (60 degrees) Over 2 EndFraction
StartFraction a b sine (60 degrees) Over 2 EndFraction
A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical planar curve that is nearly U-shaped. The vertex of the parabola will lie at (-3,2).
<h3>What is the Equation of a parabola?</h3>
A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical planar curve that is nearly U-shaped.
y = a(x-h)² + k
where,
(h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola in the form (x, y);
a defines how narrower is the parabola, and the "-" or "+" that the parabola will open up or down.
Comparing the given equation with the equation of a parabola, we will get,
y = a(x -h)² + k
y = -4(x+3)² + 2
Hence, the vertex of the parabola will lie at (-3,2).
