Using the expression for tangent: tan(angle)=opposite/adjacent,

and x to denote the height of the tree,

we have tan(35)=x/24

So x=24*tan(35) = 24*0.4738 = 11.37

So the tree is 11.37 feet tall

How do you find the elevation of the sun?

WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.


A tree 40 feet high casts a shadow 58 feet long find the measure of the angle of elevation of the sum?

To find the angle of elevation of the sun, we can use the tangent function. The tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side (height of the tree) divided by the adjacent side (length of the shadow). So, tan(angle) = height of the tree / length of the shadow. Plugging in the values, we get tan(angle) = 40 / 58. Taking the arctan of both sides gives us the angle, so the angle of elevation of the sun is approximately 33.56 degrees.


what is the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 32.4 m long?

If we assume the the flagpole makes a 90 degree angle with the ground, then the angle of elevator for the sun is 34.778°

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 do you find the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow of a 12 foot flag pole to the top of the pole is 60 degrees?

You can use trigonometry to find the angle of elevation. Let x be the distance from the tip of the shadow to the base of the pole and the height of the pole be y. Then, tan(60 degrees) = y/x. Given that the height of the pole is 12 feet, you can solve for x to find the angle of elevation.


What is the Angle of elevation of Qutub Minar when you are at a distance of 5metre using trigonometry?
