Question

From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 30°. If the height of the tree is 5√3 m, find the distance between the point on the ground and the foot of the tree.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

theta=30 degrees

opposite side=5$\sqrt{3}$m

to find: adjacent side

Formula Used:

tan theta = $\frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}$

      1/$\sqrt{3}$  = $\frac{5\sqrt{3} }{adjacent side}$

adjacent side = 15m
