Tamara wants to calculate the height of a tree outside her home. Using her clinometer (angle measuring device) she measures the angle from 35 feet away from the base of the tree and gets an angle of 62 degrees Tamara's eye level is 5.5 feet above the ground. 1. What trigonometric relationship (sine, cosine or tangent) would be used to determine how tall the tree is?

2. Write an equation to determine how tall the tree is, in feet.

3. How tall is the tree, in feet? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
