Question 1062091: Ivan and Bucky are standing on opposite sides of a tree. The angle of elevation to the top of the tree from Ivan is 30° and from Bucky is 35°. If they are 65 meters apart from one another, how tall is the tree?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! v for iVan's distance;
b for Bucky's distance;
from the tree bottom.
y for how high the tree from bottom to top.
Draw your picture.
Two Right Triangles, sharing the side y.
Can you find what to do with that system and solve for the value of y?
