Find the height of a tree (growing on level ground) if at a point 105 feet from the base of the tree the angle to its top relative to the horizontal is found to be 65.3 degrees.

distance from tree on the ground = 105 feet
angle of elevation = 65.3
height of tree =?
..
tan%28thetha%29%7D%7D=vertical%2Fbase
tan 63.5 = x/105
x = 105 tan 63.5
x= 2*63.5
x=127 feet height of tree
