Mathematics 1 Trigonometric Ratios with solutions O A O cos θ = tan θ = H H A where O = opposite‚ A = adjacent and H = hypotenuse. sin θ = 1. The angle of elevation of the top of a tree from a point on the ground 10m from the base of the tree is 28◦ . What is the height of the tree? Solution We need to find the height of tree which is opposite an angle of 28◦ .Thus O tan θ = A O = A tan θ height of tree = 10 × tan 28◦ =⇒ height of tree = 5.3m 1d.p. 2.
