You are standing 49 meters from the base of a tree that is leaning 8° from the vertical away from you. the angle of elevation from your feet to the top of the tree is 24°30'.
(a) draw a triangle that represents the problem. show the known quantities on the triangle and use the variable h to indicate the height of the tree. (do this on paper. your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)
(b) write an equation involving the unknown height h of the tree, the angle of elevation from your feet to the top of the tree h, and the angle opposite the distance from you to the base of the tree a.
