Question 369880: A tree casts a shadow 180 feet long. Find the height of the tree if the angle of elevation of the sun is 30°. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Height of tree = x feet
length of shadow = 180 feet
angle of elevation = 30 deg.
..
Tan = height/shadow
Tan (30)* 180 = height of tree
height of tree = 104 feet ( rounded off)
