No. If she selects a breakfast at random there is an equal chance she will select each item. 25% chance she will select oatmeal, 25% chance she will select cereal, 25% she will select french toast, and a 25% chance she will select scrambled eggs.
If we are to connect the root of the tree to a person to the top of the tree, we form two right triangles. If we let x and and 200 - x be the distance of Harris and Annabelle from the tree, respectively and h be the height, we form the trigonometric functions,
tan 30° = h/x
tan 35° = h/(200 - x)
The values of h and x in the equations are 63.28 ft and 109.62 ft, respectively. Thus, the answer to this item is approximately 63.28 ft.
