Matt wants to measure the height of a tree. He walks exactly 100 feet away from the base of the tree and looks up at it. The angle from his eyes to the top of the tree is 35.If his eye level is 5 feet from the ground what is the height of the tree.
All we need to do is to add 5 ft to this answer
tan (35°) = remaining height / 100 multiply both sides by 100
100 * tan (35°) = remaining height of tree ≈ 70.02 ft
So...the height of the tree ≈ 75.02 ft
