To find the height of the tree, we can use trigonometry.
Let h be the height of the tree. Then we can set up the following equation:
tan(58°) = h / (20 - 1.7)
tan(58°) = h / 18.3
h = 18.3 * tan(58°)
h ≈ 18.3 * 1.6017
h ≈ 29.3
Therefore, the height of the tree is approximately 29.3 meters.
Yussuf is 20m away from a tree, and he observes that the angle of elevation of a bird on the three is 58°. He is 1.7m tall. How high is the tree?
