Question

Terrance wants to determine the height, x, of a nearby tree. He stands 29 feet from the base of the tree. The measure of the angle of elevation from Terrance to the top of the tree is 53°.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 29tan53

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance from base of the tree = 29feet

Angle of elevation = 53degrees

Required

Height of the tree = x

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

tan 53 = x/29

x = 29tan53

Hence the required measure is x = 29tan53
