Answer:
35.7037 feet (rounded up to four decimal places)
Step-by-step explanation:
The shadow the tree makes with the ground is 25 feet.
The angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the tree is 55°
The height of the tree and its shadow meet at 90°
Height(h) of the tree ÷ length of the shadow = tan 55°
i.e [tex]\frac{h}{25}[/tex] = tan 55°
h = 25 × tan 55° = 35.70370017
Or height (h) of the tree is 35.7037 feet (rounded up to four decimal places)
