Use the image to answer the question.

A triangle has an image of a tree superimposed on its opposite side.

A tree casts a shadow as shown in the image. If the tree is 34 feet tall, and the distance from the top of the tree to the top of the shadow is 47 feet, what is the angle formed from the top of the tree? Round your answer to the nearest whole degree.

41°.

To find the angle, we can use trigonometry. The tangent of the angle formed from the top of the tree can be calculated by tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent = 34/47.

Using a calculator, we find that the angle is approximately 41 degrees.
