A hunter 1.6 m tall, views a bird on top of a tree at an angle of 45°. if the distance between the hunter and the tree is 10.4 m, find the height of the tree.
- 9.0 m
-
12. 0 m
- 8.8 m
- 10.4 m
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
\(\tan 45 = \frac{x}{10.4}\) = 10.4m
\(height of the tree is equal to 1.6m + 10.4m=12m\)
