If the height is h, then
(h-6)/150 = tan 46.2°
A surveyor stands 150ft from the base of a tree and measures the angle of elevation to be 46.2. His eye level is 6feet above the ground. What is the height of the tree to the nearest foot?

I'd be interested in seeing your work. I get
(h-6)/150 = tan 46.2°
(h-6)/150 = 1.04
h-6 = 156.42
h = 162.42
(h-6)/150 = tan 46.2°
(h-6)/150 = 1.04
h-6 = 156.42
h = 162.42
