The height of the tree to the nearest tenth of foot is 20.5 ft
Right angle triangle:
A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides can be found using Pythagoras theorem.
The side of the base triangle can be found using Pythagoras theorem.
c² = a² + b²
c² = 9.2² + 5.8²
c² = 84.64 + 33.64
c = 10.9 ft
using similar triangle ratio,
5.8 / 10.9 = 10.9 / x + 5.8
5.8x = 118.81 - 33.64
x = 85.17 / 5.8
x = 14.6844827586
x = 14.7 ft
The height of the tree to the nearest foot is 14.7 + 5.8 = 20.5 ft
