Harry is trying to calculate the height of a tower. He is standing 95 meters from the base of a tower. The angle of elevation from Harry's position on the ground and the top of the tower is 35°. Calculate the height of the tower to the nearest tenth of a meter.

tan 35 = h / 95 where h = height of the tower

h = 95 tan 35 = 66.5 to nearest 1/10 meter
