Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The engineer can use a clinometer to measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree. Let the height of the tree be represented by x, the she could determine the distance across the river, d, by applying the trigonometric function.
Tan θ = 
= 
the the distance, d = x ÷ Tan θ
Assume the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is
, and the height of the tree is 10 m, then the distance, d, across the river would be;
d = 
= 17.3190
d = 17.32 m

Without scientific notation<span> it would look like 4 000 000 000 000 </span>
<span>The decimal place must be moved 12 units to the left to be after a significant figure, thus giving the scientific notation to the power of 12. The significant figure is 4 so you get the equation </span><span>4.0⋅<span>1012</span></span>.

You move the decimal point forward until it reaches the one so it looks like this:
1.4 x 10⁵
the exponent, 5, just tells you how many spaces the decimal point moved.
Whats your geometry problem? i dont understand the question
