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.
