Question

An observer, whose eyes are 1.65 m above the ground, is standing 45.0 m away from a tree. The ground is level, and the tree is growing perpendicular to it. The observer's line of sight with the treetop makes an angle of 3.84° above the horizontal. How tall is the tree? Number i Units Save for Later Attempts: 0 of 3 used Submit Answer

Step 1

65 m - Distance from the observer to the tree ($d$) = 45.0 m - Angle of elevation to the treetop ($\theta$) = 3.84° We need to find the total height of the tree ($H_{tree}$). Show more…
