You are visiting a Redwood tree forest and want to verify the height of one of the trees. You measure its shadow along the groun
d and use trig to calculate the height. The shadow measures 500 feet and you calculate the angle of elevation to be 35 degrees. This forms a right triangle. (a) What is the measure of the other acute angle?(b) What is the height of the tree?
Replace x in the equation with the x value of the point (6) and solve. If it equals the y value (0) it is a solution if it noes not equal (0) it is not a solution.
