ANSWER
EXPLANATION
If ABCD is a parallelogram, then
line AB is parallel to line DC .
This means that,
and
are alternating angles.
Alternate angles are congruent.
This implies that,
We group like terms to obtain,
This simplifies to,
Also, if ABCD is a parallelogram then,
BC is parallel to AD. This means that,
We group like terms to get,
This simplifies to,
We divide both side by 4 to get,

We need to solve for the height of the tree given two angles and distance between the two observers. See attached drawing for a better understanding of the problem.
We derive to equations using SOH CAH TOA such as below:
sin30 = h / x
sin 45 = h / (100-x)
sin 45 (100-x) = xsin30
70.71 - 0.71x = 0.5x
70.71 = 1.21 x
x = 58.44
Solving for h, we have:
h = xsin30
h = 58.44 sin30
h = 29.22
The height of the tree is 29.22 feet.
