Question 548561: At a point on the ground 50 meters from the foot of a tree the measure of the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 48 degrees. Find the height of the tree to the nearest meter.

base = 50
angle of elevation = 48
Tan of an angle = opposite side/adjacent side
Tan (48)=height/distance
50*tan(48)= height
height = 55.5 feet
