The complete question in the attached figure

step 1
find the tree height for an angle of elevation of 55°
tan 55°=opposite side angle 55°/adjacent side angle 55°
opposite side angle 55°=the tree height h1
adjacent side angle 55°=10 ft
so
tan 55°=h/10-------> h=10*tan 55°-----> h=14.28 ft

step 2
find the tree height for an angle of elevation of 75°
tan 75°=opposite side angle 75°/adjacent side angle 75°
opposite side angle 75°=the tree height h2
adjacent side angle 75°=10 ft
so
tan 75°=h2/10-------> h2=10*tan 75°-----> h2=37.32 ft

therefore

the height of the tree is within the range [14.26,37.32]

Part 1) 4.2 ft

the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
it is Not Reasonable

Part 2) 14.7 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
it is Reasonable

Part 3) 24.4 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
it is Reasonable

Part 4) 33.9 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
it is Reasonable

Part 5) 39.1ft

the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
it is Not Reasonable

Part 6) 58.7 ft

the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
it is Not Reasonable

You should try reading notes you took during your class period.
