The height of the tree with angle of elevation of 53⁰ is 66 ft.

What is Angle of Elevation?

The angle of elevation is the angle between the horizontal line of sight and the object.

Here,  Let the height of the tree be x ft.

          The angle of elevation = 53⁰

          Distance from ground = 50 ft.

According to question,

        tan 53⁰ = x/50

         x = 50 × tan 53⁰

         x = 50 X 1.32

         x = 66 ft.

Thus, the height of the tree with angle of elevation of 53⁰ is 66 ft.
