1.	From a point on the ground, the top of a tree is seen to have an angle of elevation 60^(@). The distance between the tree and a point is 50 m. Calculate the height of the tree?
Answer» Solution :Angle `THETA = 60^(@)` The distance between the tree and a POINT X = 50 m Height of the tree (h) = ? For TRIANGULATION method `tan theta = h/x` `h = x tan theta = 50 xx tan 60^(@) = 50 xx 1.732` h = 86.6 m The height of the tree is 86.6 m.
