Answer:
To solve for the height of the tree, we can rearrange the equation: height of the tree = tan(38°) * 20 feet. Using a calculator, we find that tan(38°) is approximately 0.7813. Multiplying this by 20 feet gives us the height of the tree: height of the tree = 0.7813 * 20 feet = 15.63 feet
Answer:
Using trigonometry, we can solve for the height of the tree:
Tan(angle of elevation) = height of tree / distance from tree
Tan(38 degrees) = height of tree / 20 feet
Height of tree = Tan(38 degrees) * 20 feet
Height of tree ≈ 15.6 feet
So, the tree is approximately 15.6 feet tall.
