A hiker, who is 6 feet tall, is standing on the ground looking up to the top of a tree with an angle of elevation of θ=44∘. The situation is represented where the base of the triangle is the eye level of the hiker and the vertical side, b, is the height of the tree. The distance from the hiker's eye to the top of the tree is 53 feet. Based on the dimensions given, what is the total height, in feet, of the tree? Round to one decimal place.

The total height, in feet of the tree round to one decimal place is 42.8 ft.

The hiker is 6ft tall standing on the ground looking up to the top of a tree with an elevation of 44°.

The situation will form a right angle triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is part of the height of the tree(b). The distance from the hikers eye to the top of the tree is 53 ft. And this is the hypotenuse side of the triangle.

Let's find the height of the tree using trigonometric ratio

Therefore,

sin 44° = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 44° = opposite / 53

opposite = 53 sin 44°

opposite = 53 × 0.69465837045

Recall the person is 6 feet above the ground and the triangle was formed from the eyesight of the person. Therefore the height of the tree will be as follows

b = 36.8168936343 + 6

b ≈ 42.8 feet

42.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of hiker=6 feet

Total height of tree=b=6+x

Distance from hiker's eye to the top of the tree=53 m

We have to find the total height of the tree.

Using the formula

Total height of tree= b=36.819+6=42.819=42.8 feet

Hence, the total height of tree=42.8 feet

.there can be infinite values of m and n that can satisfy the above equation. for each value of m of m or n. there maybe infinite sets of solution for the above

step-by-step explanation:

it would rotate about 180 degrees.
