Answer:

13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very simple question

tan 34 + t

             -

            20

t =13.5

The height of tree is 13.5 feet.

Option B is correct.

Right angle triangle:

A right triangle is attached below, which describe the statement of question.

Given that, angle of elevation is 34 degrees.

Let us consider that height of tree is h.

In right triangle attached below,

Apply tan of given angle.

        [tex]tan(34)=\frac{h}{20}\\ \\h=20*tan(34)\\\\h=20*0.674=13.5feet[/tex]
