A camera is mounted 4 meters high on the 2nd floor of a building. The camera is at a distance of 10 meters from a palm tree that is 6 meters high. If the camera lens has angles of depression and elevation of 20°, will the tree be seen by the lens in its entirety (from bottom of the trunk to the top of the crown)? If not, how far back (to the nearest foot) will the camera need to be moved to capture the tree completely? (Include a diagram.)
