Explain how you would use trig ratios to find the height of the tree if you know you are standing 30 feet from the base of the tree when you measure the 37-degree angle.

Answer 1

22.6 feet

SOH - CAH - TOA

you are working with "o" opposite , and "a" adjacent.

O/A is TOA - tan()

tan(37) = x/30

x = 30* tan(37) = 22.6
