Answer:

114 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine or construct a right triangle with the 46 ft leg lying on the ground.  This is the "adjacent side" of the triangle; it lies immediately adjacent to the 68 degree angle.  The side opposite this angle is h, the height of the tree.

The tangent function includes angle, opp side and adj side:

tan 68 degrees = opp / adj = h / (46 ft), and so:

(46 ft)*tan (68 degrees) = opp = h

Then the height of the tree is h = (46 ft)(2.47) = 114 ft

{ -y=2x-3
{ 1/2y=3/2-x

{ y=-2x+3
{ y=3-2x

-2x+3=3-2x

(x,y) = (x,-2x+3)
