What is angled of elevation?

Angle of elevation is the angle between the horizontal line and the line  of sight.

Analysis:

The height of the tree and the tree's shadow form a right angle triangle with the line of sight.

let the height of tree be h

tan 50 = h/4.8

h = 4.8 x tan 50

h = 4.8 x 1.191 = 5.7m

In conclusion, the height of the tree is 5.7m
