trees located on a sloping hillside turn to grow vertically by responding to gravity and and light rays. To measure the height of a tree on a slope it is helpful to know the angle between the tree and the slope ground. If a tree is growing vertically at an angle of 74 degree with respect to the sloped ground and the angle to the top of the tree from a location uphill 110 feet from the base of the tree is 48 degree, how tall is the tree.
