Each of two observers 300 feet apart measures the angle of elevation to the top of a tree that sits on the straight line between them. These angles are 55° and 38°, for observers A and B, respectively. (Give your answers as decimals to tenth.)
(a) How tall is the tree?
____ feet
(b) How far is the base of its trunk from each observer?
__________ feet from Observer A
__________ feet from Observer B
Hence correct answers are :
a) height of tree, h = 517.5 feet
b) base of tree is 362.4 feet away from observer A.
b) base of tree is 662.4 feet away from observer B.
