At the same time, the sun casts a shadow on the girl and tree creating two similar right triangles. You can use a ratio of girl's height to her shadow will be the same as the tree's height to it's shadow.

5 / 2.5 = T / 14.5
2 = T / 14.5
2 * 14.5 = T
29 ft = Tree

artcher [175]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have:

 Sinα=opposite/hypotenuse

 α=62°
 opposite=x
 hypotenuse=15 ft

 2. When you substitute the values into  Sinα=opposite/hypotenuse, you obtain:

 Sinα=opposite/hypotenuse
 Sin(62°)=x/15

 3. You must clear "x", as below:

 x=(15)(Sin(62°))
 x=13.24 ft

 The answer is. 13.24 ft
