Answer:

It is 19 feet tall.

Explanation:

Tan(35) = 0pposite / adjacent

The adjacent side = 20 feet

The opposite side is unknown = x

Tan 35 = 0.7

tan(35) = x/20

x = 20 * tan(35)

x = 20 * 0.7

x = 14

But Chiss' eyes are 5 feet from the ground. The tree is another 5 feet.

tree = 14 + 5

Tree = 19 feet.
