10. Tamara wants to find the height of a tree outside her home. Using her clinometer, she measures the slope angle from 8 feet away from the base of the tree and gets an angle of 40o . If Tamara's eye level is 5 feet above the ground, how tall is the tree (rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot)? Show your work.

11.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the notation SOHCAHTOA

We would be using tan because we have been given the adjacent and we are to determine the opposite value

tan 40 = opposite / adjacent

0.8391 = opposite / 8

opposite = 0.8391 x 8

6.7

Tamera is 5 ft above ground = 6.7 + 5 = 11.7 foot

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
