Given that a point of measure is 3m away from a tree, and the top of the tree is at a 60 degree angle from the ground,
find the height of the tree.

Respuesta :

So there is a right triangle.

The tree hight over the distance from the tree is equal to the tangent of the angle.

h / 3 = tan(60)

h / 3 = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

h = [tex]3\sqrt{3}[/tex]
