If you are standing 45m from the base of the tree and an imaginary lines from the tip of the tree to the ground forms a 26° angle with the ground, then the tree is 21.95 m tall.
(45m) * tan(26°) = 21.95 m

What is the difference between tall and long?
Tall means long, of comparatively greater length, in a vertical direction, or in elevation. In some dimensions, long refers to horizontal, e.g. a snake is long, a giraffe is tall.
What is the difference between height and elevation?
There is a big difference between height and elevation. Height is how tall something is. Elevation is how far above sea level something is.
What is the maximum and minimum possible difference between two boys who observe the angle of elevation of a 50m tall tower to be 30 and 45 degrees?
The max. distance between the two boys will be 36.6 ft. if they are lying with their faces on the ground. The min. distance between them depends on how tall they are (height of eye). Say height of eye is 5 ft. then the distance between them will be 32.94 ft.
A tree 15 ft tall casts a shadow 8ft long find to the nearest degree the angle of elevation of the sun?
First, draw a picture. Draw a horizontal line that represents the ground, and another perpendicular line to it that represents the tree. Denote with B the point of the intersections of these two lines, and with C the point on the perpendicular line which is 15 ft far from the ground. So the angle B is 90 degrees. The sun will be on the right side of BC. From the point C draw a straight line in the direction of the sun, which cuts the horizontal line at the point A. So, the angle of elevation of the sun is the angle A. A right triangle is formed, the triangle ABC, where the side opposite to angle A is 15 ft, and the adjacent side is 8 ft, so tan A = opposite/adjacent = 15/8 So, the measure of angle A = arctan (15/8) = 62 degrees.
A tree 100ft tall casts a shadow 120ft long.Find the angle of elevation of the sun?
tan(A) = 120/100 =39.81 degrees

When the angle of elevation on of the sun is 75 degree a building casts shadow of 125 feet how tall is the degree?
If you mean the height of the building then it works out as 466.5063509 feet
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 big is Mount Olympus..?
Mount Olympus in elevation is 2917 meters tall (9750 feet tall).
How do you help children understand the difference between tall and long?
Just tell them to think about the terms as different directions since 1 is vertical & the other horizontal. Also tall implies distance from the ground.
What is the Angle of elevation of Qutub Minar when you are at a distance of 5metre using trigonometry?
If you are looking for the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of Qutub Minar, here is a solution. Qutub Minar is 72.5 meters tall. The angle of elevation would equal arctan(72.5/5). It comes out to approximately 86.05 degrees.

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.
