Real-life application of the Law of Sines. In this module we've been working with the Laws of Sines and Cosines. Now let's think about applications. Jack needs to determine the height of a tree before cutting it down to be sure it does not fall on his house 32 feet away from the tree. The angle of elevation of the tree from one position on flat ground is 30 degrees, and from a second position, 40 feet away, is 20 degrees. How tall is the tree? Can Jack safely cut down the tree?

Figure in plane geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The angle is measured in degrees using a protractor. The different types of angles are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex.
