Asurveyor is standing 550 feet from the base of a redwood tree in the california redwood forest. the tree is 362 feet tall. sketch a drawing that models the situation and then find the angle of elevation of the top of the tree from the spot where the surveyor is standing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a surveyor is standing 550 feet from the base of a redwood tree in the California Redwood Forest. The tree is 362 feet tall.

We can see from our attachment that tree and surveyor forms a right angle with respect to ground, where the height of tree is opposite side and distance between surveyor and base of the tree is adjacent side to the angle of elevation (x).

Since tangent relates opposite and adjacent sides of a right triangle, so we can set an equation to find the angle of elevation as:

Now we will use arctan to find the value of x.

Therefore, the measure of angle of elevation is 33.35 degrees.

yes

step-by-step explanation:

they have to be opposite and reciprocal of eachother.

is there a graph
