Question

a child is watching a bird on a tree. the angle of elevation of his/her sight is 45° . the child is 1.5 m tall. find the height of the tree when the distance between the foot of the tree and child on the ground is 30 m. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

BF represents the tree, DG is the first position of the boy and AE is the new position.

CD represents the river.

We have : AE = DG

Let DC = x, then EC = (x + 3) m.

tan45° = EC/CF

⇒1=CF /x+3

⇒CF=x+3 ...... (i)

tan55° = CF/DC

⇒1.4281= CF/x

⇒CF=1.4281×x ..... (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we have

1.4281x=x+3

0.4281x=3⇒x= 0.42813 ∼7m

Width of the river = CD = 7 m

Height of the tree = BF = BC = CF = (1.4 + 7 + 3)m = 11.4
