Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle.
tan35° =
=
( multiply both sides by 100 )
100 × tan35° = opp , that is
opp ≈ 100 × 0.7002 = 70.02
Thus height of tree = 70.02 + 5 = 75.02 ft

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle on the right.
tan40° =
=
( multiply both sides by rope )
rope × tan40° = 25.17 ( divide both sides by tan40° )
rope =
=
= 30 ft
