Answer :

Answer:

h ≈ 37 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the height of the tree from the viewers eye level

using the tangent ratio, then

tan24° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{72}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 72 )

72 × tan24° = x

then

height of tree = x + 5 = 72tan24° + 5 ≈ 37 ft ( to the nearest foot )

Answer:

37ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be considered as a right angle triangle. The height of the tree is equal to the product of tan(24°) and the distance between the man and tree+5 Therefore

  • ⇒h=tan(24°)*72+5
  • ⇒h≈32ft+5
  • ⇒h≈37

In conclusion

The height of the tree is 37ft
