Here is a sketch illustrating the problem:
\n" ); document.write( " To show those right triangles clearly, I had to draw the angles much wider than \"7%5Eo\" and \"9.1%5Eo\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The height of the tree is \"h\" .
\n" ); document.write( "After walking \"30m\" towards the tree, at a distance \"d\" from the base of the tree, the angle of elevation becomes \"9.1%5Eo\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%289.1%5Eo%29=h%2Fd\"<--->\"d%2Fh=1%2Ftan%289.1%5Eo%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "From point P, at a distance \"d%2B30m\" from the base of the tree, the angle of elevation was \"9.1%5Eo\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%287%5Eo%29=h%2F%28d%2B30m%29\"<--->\"%28d%2B30m%29%2Fh=1%2Ftan%287%5Eo%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28d%2B30m%29%2Fh-d%2Fh=1%2Ftan%287%5Eo%29-1%2Ftan%289.1%5Eo%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28d%2B30m-d%29%2Fh=1%2Ftan%287%5Eo%29-1%2Ftan%289.1%5Eo%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30m%2Fh=1%2Ftan%287%5Eo%29-1%2Ftan%289.1%5Eo%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "From now on we calculate approximate values, rounding as needed.
