[solved] – Question 99404

Simple geometry can compute the height of an object from the object’s shadow length and shadow angle using the formula: tan(angleElevation) = treeHeight / shadowLength.
1. Using simple algebra, rearrange that equation to solve for treeHeight. (Note: Don’t forget tangent).
2. Complete the below code to compute treeHeight. For tangent, use the tan() function, described in the “math functions” link above.
