<u>Given:</u>
The angle of elevation from the point on the ground to the top of the tree is 34° and the point is 25 feet from the base of the tree.
We need to determine the height of the tree.
<u>Height of the tree:</u>
Let the height of the tree be h.
The height of the tree can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.
Thus, we have;
Substituting the values, we get;
Multiplying both sides by 25, we have;
Rounding off to the nearest tenth of a foot, we get;
Thus, the height of the tree is 16.9 feet.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
