using the law of sines, the approximate length of the tree is calculated as: C. 45 ft.

<h3>What is the Law of Sines?</h3>

The law of sines is given as: sin A/a = sin B/b = sin C/c, which is used to solve a triangle.

Given the following:

Apply the law of sines

sin 30/25 = sin 65/H

H = (sin 65 × 25)/sin 30

H ≈ 45 ft.
