In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse

The distance from the top of the tree to the shadow is 40.8 ft.

From the given figure:

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 36= 33/H 
H=33/cos 6= 40.8 ft

Considering the unit circle, it is found that the sine is negative on the third and on the fourth quadrant.

<h3>What is the unit circle?</h3>

For an angle \theta the unit circle is a circle with radius 1 containing the following set of points: (\cos{\theta}, \sin{\theta}).

Hence, from the above explanation, the sine is negative when y is negativem, which is on the third and on the fourth quadrant.
