The angle of elevation of the top of a tree from a point 27m away and on the same horizontal ground as the foot of the tree is 30o. Find the height of the tree.

A.

27m

B.

13.5 3m

C.

13.5 2m

D.

93m

Correct answer is D

From the diagram,

tan 30o = h27

h = 27 tan 30o

= 27 x 13

= 273 x 33

= 2733

= 93m
