Question

A tree is struck by lightning and snaps off 34 feet above the ground. The top part of the tree, 117 feet long, rests with the tip on the ground, while the broken end rests on the top of the stump.

What angle does the top part of the tree make with the ground?

Answer 1

117 - 34 = 83 feet.
(h = 83 and b = 34) to get tan(theta) = 83/34.
(83/34).
The angle is 68 degrees.
