5. Earl the Squirrel wants to know how high he has to climb to reach the top of the tree. There is a mirror on the ground 30 ft from the tree. Earl stands 12 inches away from the mirror and can see the top of the tree. His little beady eyes are 8 inches above the ground. Using similar triangles, find the height of the tree to the nearest foot.
