Answer:

Owl= 67.14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See comment for complete question.</em>

The given information is represented in the attached figure.

First convert 22°8'6'' and 30° 40’ 30” to degrees

22^{\circ} 8'6'' = 22 + \frac{8}{60} + \frac{6}{3600}

22^{\circ} 8'6'' = 22.135^{\circ}

30^{\circ} 40'30'' = 30 + \frac{40}{60} + \frac{30}{3600}

30^{\circ} 40'30'' = 30.675^{\circ}

Considering Jason's position:

tan(22.135^{\circ}) = \frac{H}{x + 48}

Where x = distance between the tree and Alison

Make H the subject

H = (x + 48)tan(22.135^{\circ})

Considering Alison's position

tan(30.675^{\circ}) = \frac{H}{x}

Make H the subject

H = xtan(30.675^{\circ})

H = H

(x + 48)tan(22.135^{\circ}) = xtan(30.675^{\circ})

(x + 48) *0.4068 = x* 0.5932

Open bracket

x *0.4068 + 48 *0.4068 = 0.5932x

0.4068x + 19.5264 = 0.5932x

Collect Like Terms

-0.5932x+0.4068x = -19.5264

-0.1864x = -19.5264

0.1864x = 19.5264

Make x the subject

x = \frac{19.5264}{0.1864}

x = 104.76

Substitute 104.76 for x in H = xtan(30.675^{\circ})

H = 104.76 * tan(30.675^{\circ})

H = 104.76 * 0.5932

H = 62.14

The above represents the height of the tree.

The height of the owl is:

Owl= H + 5

Owl= 62.14 + 5

Owl= 67.14ft
