A tree casts a shadow of 17 ft. The angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree is 68°. To the nearest foot, what is the height of the tree?
My answer: 42 feet is that correct? i'm still unsure if i did the equation correctly i drew it out and then used the tangent so i got 42.075 so basically 42 feet, i got 7 feet doing it another way so that didn't sound right, but 42 feet seems to big to me?
