Have you been taught about special triangles yet?

anonymous · Answer

The 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles?

anonymous · Answer

well can u elaborate

anonymous · Answer

Sure. 

You can split that triangle down in the middle. On the right side you have a triangle with 30 degrees. So the triangle on the right is a right triangle, specifically a 30-60-90 triangle. I've attached pictures that help you find the values.

anonymous · Answer

so i just divide 65/2?

anonymous · Answer

but then again that is not accurate

anonymous · Answer

You know that the base of the triangle is 65m. So divide 65 by 2 and you get 32.5m. That's your base. Now find the other values using special triangles.

anonymous · Answer

yes, i did that and i didnt get an accurate answer

anonymous · Answer

Pretend that the height of the tree is x. The base is $$xsqrt{3}$$.

You know that $$xsqrt{3}$$ = 32.5 Solve for x.
