The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet
Is 37% Ran to hide then 63% refuse to hide
63/2520= 37/X
63x= 93240
Divide by 63
X= 1480 Ran to hide
2520+1480=4,000 total --------------
4,000 people lived in the forest

straight line= 180⁰
180⁰-77 = 103⁰
Answer: C) Cannot be done
Taking the square root of a negative number is not possible unless you involve complex numbers. If your teacher has not introduced that topic yet, then you just simply say "cannot be done" or something along those lines.
