Answer 1

Answer:

300 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angle of depression is 45°:

• the tower
• the line from the base of the tower to the base of the tree
• the line from the top of the tower to the base of the tree

form an isosceles right angles triangle with angles 45°, 45° and 90°.  So the horizontal distance from the tower to the tree is the same as the height of the tower, which is 300 ft.
