Answer:
44.81 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
In the right triangle ACD
Find the length side AC (height of the small fire tower)
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
Solve for AC


step 2
In the right triangle ABE
Find the length side AB
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
solve for AB


step 3
How many feet off the ground is the squirrel?
Subtract the length side segment AB from the length side segment AC
so

Step 
<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>
Let

slope mAB is equal to

Step 
<u>Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>
Let
CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to 
so

Step 
<u>Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)</u>
we know that
the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to

Multiply by
both sides


therefore
the answer is
the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation
