The sun is 21° above the horizon. it makes a 54 m -long shadow of a tall tree. how high is the tree? express your answer in meters.

Height of the tree, h = 20.72 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

The sun is 21° above the horizontal,

Length of the shadow, d = 54 m

Let h is the height of the tree. It can be calculated using trigonometry as :

Here, perpendicular is h and base is 54 meters.

h = 20.72 meters

So, the height of the tree is 20.72 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
