Consider a right angled triangle as shown in figure; and apply Pythagorean Theorem, According to the Pythagorean Theorem, in a right triangle the sum of the squares of the two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
So a2 + b2 = c2
The distance from you to the base of tree = 120 ft
Height of tree = 50 ft
Take 120 ft and 50 ft as two sides of a triangle
Therefore 1202 + 502 = c2
c2 = 16900
c = 130 feet
You are 130 feet from the top of the tree.
