Answer:
x=24.2198542
ROUND IF NEEDED
Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to find the height of the tree or the vertical side
We are given
- The angle of elevation or the angle at the ground ,38
- The horizontal length, 31.
Since we have a side that is adjacent to that angle and we are trying find backside that us opposite of that angle
we are going to use tangent
[tex] \tan(x) = \frac{opp}{adj} [/tex]
plug 38 in for x or theta, x for opp side and 31 for adjacent side
[tex] \tan(38) = \frac{x}{31} [/tex]
Multiply 31 by both sides to find x
x=24.2198542
ROUND IF NEEDED.
