A maple tree is growing crooked. Rather than growing perfectly upright it is leaning at an angle of 104 degree. You attach a 12 foot rope to the tree and anchor the rope to the ground 8 feet from base of the tree. After anchoring the rope, the tree is now leaning at an angle of 85 degree(Overtime you will loosen the rope when the tree starts to grow perfectly upright.)   a) What is the angle of elevation from the ground to the rope? b) How high up the tree did you attach the rope
