I’m doing a review for a test and have the question: A forester, 200 feet from the base of a redwood tree, observes that the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 57 degrees. Estimate the height of the tree.

My answer came out to be the tan(57) = opposite side/200 which comes out to be 200tan(57) = 307.97 ft.

Seems correct but would like to have my work double checked.
Thanks everyone for checking that. It really is appreciated.

Math is not my strongest subject. =P

it looks like some kind of redwood, like a giant wine cask (remember lucy & ethel crushing the grapes on I LOVE LUCY?) it’s hand made possibly from a kit,I noticed a silicone"caulk" type thing between the planks,it’s been sitting for a few seasons gathering leaves and all kinds of bacteria& whatever else, that i need to clean up without affecting the wood. PLEASE HELP! I WANT TO USE MY HOT TUB!!!!
THANKS!!

I had an account with redwood credit union, but every time i needed money i had to go to the bank to get the money. I want a bank that will give me a card with all the money that i have deposited into the account and i can just use it whenever. Im still a teen.

already going to Redwood and Yosemite

i got lot of luggages to carry. and i notice the caltrain got no luggage compartments. please help me of other public transportation that is luggage accesible. thank you

Why is it that in a certain area of one species of trees, the majority of them are the same age? Their height, their thickness, etc is the same. (there can be other species mixed in, take for example: Californa’s giant redwood tree state parks?) Is that because at one point, a whole bunch of acorns or whatever had come all at the same time and started flourishing at one time?

Hello. We are thinking of moving to Redwood City, CA. We found a nice house near Caltrain Sequiloa Station, located on the west of El Camino Real near Jefferson Ave. It seems convenient being close by downtown, grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. What do you think of this area? When we went there, we saw quite a lot of hispanic/latino people. We felt safe there but since we have never lived in such neighborhood, we would like to hear your thoughts, especially from people who have actually lived there, or who are familiar with Redwood City.

My boyfriend and I are planning on moving to CA from CT soon. We are interested in a small town in northern CA, near the redwoods and the coast. Where would you recommend?

My friend who is travelling with me has booked us an internal flight which will mean we only spend about 2 days in San Francisco and the rest of the time in LA. I’ve heard from friends that there’s not much to see in LA if you’re not into shopping and sitting on the beach. I’m considering asking him to try and cancel the internal flight and maybe we could hire a car and drive between the two cities – i heard the coast route is really nice. I’m into museums and history and would love to see the giant redwoods and stuff…we have a friend in LA to stay with but nothing else booked…please help – I’m really worried that we’ll spend a load of money to get over there and waste the little time we have!

I plan on seeing the redwoods, Lake Tahoe…
What else would you recommend?
Are there any shows being taped I could attend?
Please give me some ideas!
