Question 8 2 pts
You stand 40 feet from a tree. The anlge of elevation from the ground to
the top of the tree is 47 degrees. How tall is the tree? (round to the nearest
tenth)

9514 1404 393

  42.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

where Opposite in this case is the height of the tree, and Adjacent is the distance to the tree.

  tan(47°) = height/(40 ft)

  height = (40 ft)·tan(47°) . . . . . multiply both sides by (40 ft)

  height ≈ 42.9 ft

The tree is about 42.9 feet tall.
