Suppose the angle of elevation of the top of a tree at a point E due east of the tree is 60° and that at a point F due west of the tree is 30°. If the distance between the points E and F is 160 feet, then what is the height of the tree ?
Elementary MathematicsTrigonometry
- A40 √3 feet
- B60 feet
- C40 / √3 feet
- D23 feet
Explanation
h(1/√3+√3)=160 gives h=40√3 ft.
