Pat needs to determine the height of a tree before cutting it down to be sure that it will not fall on a nearby fence. The angle of elevation of the tree from one position on a flat path from the tree is H=60 and from a second position L=30 farther along this path it is B=50 What is the height of the​ tree?

Respuesta :

The height of the tree based on the information is 229.23.

How to calculate the height?

Based on the information given,

tan 50 = h/x + 60

h = (x + 60)tan 50°

x tan 60 = (x + 60)tan 50°

x(tan 60° - ta 50°) = 60 ta 60

x = 132.34

Therefore, the height will be:

= x tan60°

= 132.34 × tan 60

= 229.23

Therefore, the height is 229.23.
