Question 1121033: A tree grows vertically on a slope which has an incline of 24 degrees. When the sun is at an elevation of 48 degrees, the tree casts a shadow of 92 feet directly down the slope.
Find the height of the tree in feet.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
More than million of different valid solutions/answers are possible, depending on relative positions of the bodies
(the incline, the tree and the sun) in 3D space, in which we live.
===============
As a reminder: we all live in 3D - not in the 2D section of the 3D space.
But if you want to pose the problem in this 2D vertical section/plane, then it should be accurately stated in the problem formulation,
with clear explanation where the sun is located relative to the incline and the tree.
