The distance of the tree from the house is: 45.99 feet
What is angle of elevation?
Angle of elevation is the angle the horizontal makes with the line of sight.
Analysis:
The tree lean towards a house meaning it does not lean on the house but a distance away from the house.
let the distance away from the house be d.
The line of sight intersects the top of the tree at a point.
The height of the point from the horizontal ground is 36 sin 87 = 36(0.998) = 35.92 feet
to find distance of the tree from the house, we use the angle of elevation which is 38 degrees. so that tan 38 = 35.92/d
d = 35.92/0.781 = 45.9 feet
In conclusion, the distance of the tree from the house is 45.9 feet
