Question

A dog on the ground sees a squirrel up in a tree. The dog is 29 feet from the base of the tree and looks up at the squirrel at an angle of elevation of 52 degrees. How high is the squirrel in the tree? Round your answer to the nearest foot (a whole number, no decimals).

Answer 1

Answer:

37.12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(52) = height/   29height = tan(52) * 29 = 37.12 feet

Answer 2

The height of the squirrel in the tree is 37 foot.

What is the height of the squirrel on the tree?

The dog and the tree forms a right angle. The distance of the dog from the tree is the opposite side. The height of the tree is the adjacent side.

Tan 52 = opposite / adjacent

1.2799 = opposite / 29

opposite = 29 x 1.2799

opposite = 37 foot
