The height of the tree is 9 meters

What is angle of elevation?

This is the angle the line of sight makes with the horizontal.

Analysis:

The line of sight , the shadow length and height of tree form right angled triangle.

Let the height of tree be h

so that, tan 24 = h/20

h = 20 tan 24

h = 20(0.445) = 8.9m = 9m

In conclusion, the height of the tree is 9m.
