Matt wants to measure the height of a tree. He walks exactly 100 feet away from the base of the tree and looks up at it. The angle from his eyes to the top of the tree is 35 degrees.

If his eye level is 5 feet from the ground, what is the height of the tree?

sin 35 degrees = 0.5736

cos 35 degrees = 0.8192

tan 35 degrees = 0.7002

Th tree is approximately __ feet tall

Enter your answer as the number that correctly fills in the blank.

If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places, like this: 42.53

I wasn't able to parse your question, but the HE.NET team is hard at work making me smarter.
