Answer:

69.7 ft

Explanation:

We know that

The function sine of angle of 35 degrees is equal to divide the opposite side to the angle of 35 degrees (the height of the vulture tree) by the hypotenuse (the distance from the vulture to the roadkill)

Let

z -> the distance from the vulture to the roadkill

sin(35*)=40/z

z = 40/sin (35*) = 69.7 ft
