At a point on the ground 50 feet from the front of a tree, the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 48 degrees. Find the height of the tree.
Answered by John
the tree is opposite the angle and the 50 feet is adjacent to the tree.

opposite/adjacent = tangent

x/50 = tan 48.

Find tan 48 and multiple by 50 to find "x" which is the height of the tree.
