Question

A tree leans such that it is not perpendicular to the ground. The distance between points A and B is 30 feet, and point A is 20 feet from the center of the bottom of the tree (as shown in the figure). The distance from point A to point C at the top of the tree is 29 ft. The angle of elevation from point A to point C is 47°. To the nearest foot, what is the distance from point B to point C? To the nearest degree, what is the angle of elevation from point B to point C?

Answer 1

I am pretty sure the answer you are looking for is D.

Answer 2

Answer:

h= 12.98 metres

Explanation:

The tree is leaning over so, the triangle is no longer right-angled.
