What instrument is used to measure angle of elevation from the eye to the top of a tree?

a protractor, however, that wouldn't really be used in the real world obviously. However, if you're doing a math problem, and it says that the image is drawn to scale, you can use a protractor to find the angle of elevation.
however, angle of elevation questions are usually solved via trigonometry. So, if possible, look to see if you can apply sin cos or tangent to the question.

How do you find the Angle Of Sun When Tree Is 6.25m And The Shadow Is 10.1m Long?
Use the tangent angle of elevation which works out as 31.7497 degrees to four decimal places
How do you find length of a tree?
Using trigonometry. By measuring a certain distance from the tree and knowing the angle of elevation you can use the tangent ratio: tan = opp (the height of the tree)/adj (the distance) Rearrange the formula: opp = adj*tan
A tree 10 ft tall cast a shadow 12 ft long find the angle elevation of the sun.?
draw yourself a triangle, with a 90* angle at the root of the tree. The sides of the triangle are: The shadow(the base side), the tree (the vertical side) and the distance between the top of the tree and the top of the shadow of the tree (the diagonal side).Then either calculate the diagonal side and solve the puzzle with a sine or directly solve it with a cosine. (You need the angle between the diagonal and base sides)
If a 34-foot tree casts a shadow of 101 feet what is the angle of elevation of the sun?
-67
Scott is standing 80 ft from the base of a tree He sees the top of the tree from an angle of elevation of 42 degrees His eye is 4.5 feet off the ground How tall is the tree?
Tangent of theta = Y/X, or opposite the angle/the adjacent of angle. So; Tangent of 42 degrees = height/80' 80' tan 42 = height = 72 feet ( you might want to subtract that 4.5 foot eye height )
Simple angle of elevation word problem?
A simple angle of elevation problem...You want to find out the height of a tree. You measure the distance from you to the base and find that it is 100 feet. You measure the angle of elevation of the top and find that it is 30 degrees. You are six feet tall. How tall is the tree?Answer: The tree is 64 feet tall. Its height is tangent 30 times 100 + 6.
How could you measure the height of a tree at noon when the sun is directly overhead and the tree casts no shadow?
Your best bet here would be to use trigonometry. One stand a given distance away from the tree and sight the top of the tree, say with a clinometer, to measure the angle of elevation. Then knowing the angle and the distance you are from the tree, the height of the tree can be calculated with a tangent function.
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
A child lies on the ground and looks up at the top of a 14-ft tree nearby. The child is 7 ft away from the tree. What is the angle of elevation from the child to the top of the tree Round to the neare?
Angle of elevation tan^-1(14/7) = 63 degrees rounded
100 ft height tree casts a shadow that is 130 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Angle of elevation: tan-1(100/130) = 37.6 degrees rounded to one decimal place
An observer who is 6 ft tall has an angle of elevation of 60 to the top of a tree and is standing 20 ft from its base How tall is the tree?
ABOUT 2O FEET
How do you measure a living tall tree?
mathematical triangulation. Measure a set distance from the tree, determine the angle from a horizontal plane to the tip of the tree, and that should allow you to calculate the height of the tree.
How do you find the Angle Of Sun When Tree Is 6.25m And The Shadow Is 10.1m Long?
Use the tangent angle of elevation which works out as 31.7497 degrees to four decimal places
What is the instrument to find the circumference of a tree trunk?
A cloth tape / flexible measure.
What instrument would you use to measure the amount of light under a tree?
The answer is...The Internet
Hewants to dtrmne d height of a tree He stands at dstnce frm it n dtrmnes d angle elevation the top of it is 40 N mves 30in closer to it n now d angle is 50 he's eye are 5in above d grnd how tall isit?
The height of the tree if the angle of elevation is 40 N, would be 60 m.
A tree 100ft tall casts a shadow 120ft long.Find the angle of elevation of the sun?
tan(A) = 120/100 =39.81 degrees
