Answer:

Height of the tree is 78.11 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the tangent rule in the right triangle formed,

Since, tanθ = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

tan(32)° = [tex]\frac{h}{125}[/tex]

h = 125(tan32°)

h = 125(0.62487)

h = 78.109

  ≈ 78.11 ft

Height of the tree will be 78.11 feet.
