Question

John wants to measure the height of a tree. His eye level is 6 feet from the ground. He walks exactly 100 ft from the base of

Answer 1

Answer:

70.9 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry:

tan θ = opposite /Adjacent

Opposite = tree height, y

Adjacent = vertical distance between eyelevel and tree

tan 33º = y/100

y = 100 * tan 33º

y = 100 * 0.6494075

y = 64.9 feets

Distance between John's eye level and the ground = 6 feets

Total tree height = 6 + 64.9 = 70.9 feets
