The angle of elev. from a pen on the ground to the top of a tree is 41°. If the pen is 15m from the bottom of tree, what is the height of the tree

Answer 1

You are given the adjacent side, looking for the opposite side, the height of the tree. You can use tan for this.

Let x = height of the tree

tan 41 = x/15

x= 15(tan 41)

x=13.04 ft.
