Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so from the silly drawing, you can see that the triangle is 4 feet off the ground, and that we want to find the Opp side from our angle of 15 °
Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle
SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp
CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp
TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj
use TOA to find the Opp side of the triangle .. which is labeled X
Tan(15) = X / 15
15* Tan(15) = X
4.019 = X
so the bird is up 4 feet in the tree.. not very high up, plus the 4 feet that the apple is already off the ground, soo
the tree... to where the bird is, at least, is 8.019 feet..
did this make sense? :/
hope the drawing helped :P
