Answer:
75.02 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the problem into 2 different part. The bottom part of the tree is 5 feet because that's where your eye levels are, so you just have to solve the top part of the tree.
The top part of the tree is solved by finding the height of the triangle. If you remember SohCahToa, the opposite side of the angle is solved using tangent.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(35) = x/100, x is just the unknown height of the tree.
multiply 100 on both side to get x by itself.
x = 100tan(35)
x = 70.02
add that top height of the tree(70.02ft) with the bottom height of the tree(5ft).
70.02+5 = 75.02 ft
