Let h be the height of the tree. Then we can use the tangent function to write:
tan(32.5) = h/40
Multiplying both sides by 40, we get:
h = 40*tan(32.5)
Using a calculator, we find:
h ≈ 23.3 m
Therefore, the height of the tree is approximately 23.3 meters.
tan(32.5) = h/40
Multiplying both sides by 40, we get:
h = 40*tan(32.5)
Using a calculator, we find:
h ≈ 23.3 m
Therefore, the height of the tree is approximately 23.3 meters.
