Angle of elevation of the tree from one position on a flat path from the tree is 30° and from a second position 40 feet farther along the path is 20° What is the height of the tree? Explain please?

Always draw a sketch of the problem and then label all the information provided:Use tangent to solve for the height (H):Tan 30 = H/xTan 20 = H/(x+40)Use these two equations to solve for H.Hope that helps
