You are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on the opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree and find it to be 62.0°. You then walk 45 feet directly away from the tree and measure the angle of elevation. If the second measurement is 48.5°, how tall is the tree? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Ratios

A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.

Trigonometric Ratios

Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.
