Terrance wants to determine the height, x, of a nearby tree. He stands 29 feet from the base of the tree. The measure of the angle of elevation from Terrance to the top of the tree is 53°.

Answer:
x = 29tan53
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Distance from base of the tree = 29feet
Angle of elevation = 53degrees
Required
Height of the tree = x
Using the SOH CAH TOA identity
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
tan 53 = x/29
x = 29tan53
Hence the required measure is x = 29tan53
