Answer:

46.2 feet

Explanation:

In the right triangle model, you are given the angle, the adjacent side, and you want to find the opposite side. The relevant trig relation is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

tan(57°) = height/(30 ft)

Multiplying by the denominator gives ...

height = (30 ft)tan(57°) ≈ 46.2 ft

The height of the tree is about 46.2 feet.
