  5. Yola just planted a Hybrid Elm. The nursery claims the tree grows 12 feet per year. Yola wants to verify the claim. She walks 100 feet from the base of the tree and, using a transit that is 2 feet off the ground, determines the angle of elevation is 5.7o. One year later, the angle of elevation 100 feet from the tree is 11.9o. Is the nursery’s claim true?

  6. g h 100 feet 2 feet h = height of tree above transit g = growth of tree during first year

  7. Height of tree after 1 year: 2 + 9.98 + 11.09 = 23.07 feet
