Mark wants to determine the height, x, of a nearby tree. he stands 47 feet from the base of the tree. The measure of the angle o
f elevation from Mark to the top of the tree is 36°
If it's not too much to ask, may I please have some help with this? I have SBA math coming up and my math teacher is overwhelming us with practice he and I remember nothing from Geo. Help would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much!! (will give brainliest)

Answer:
x = 17, y = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Isolate for x in "x - y = -3, -8":
x - y+y = -3, -8+y
x = -11 + y
2. Substitute "x = -11 + y" in for x in the second expression:
-11 + y + y = 45
3. Simplify:
-11 + 2y = 45
4. Isolate y:
-11+11 +2y = 45+11
2y = 56
y = 28
5. Substitute the new y-value into the first equation:
x = -11 + 28
x = 17
hope this helps!
