Answer:

381.05 ft

Explanation:

A right triangle can be formed with the bottom of the tree, the top of the tree, and you. In a right triangle, for any angle θ, tanθ=opposite/adjacent.

Let
h represent the height of the tree. The angle 60° has opposite side

Set up the following equation;

tan(60°)=h/220

Multiply both sides by 220:

h=220tan(60°)≈381.05 ft (rounded to the nearest hundredth, ans)
