An ecologist wishes to find the height of a redwood tree that is on the other side of a creek, as shown in the figure below. From point A he finds that the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 8.3°. He then walks 24.8 feet at a right angle from point A to point B. There he finds that the angle between AB and a line extending from B to the tree is 86.5°. What is the height h of the tree? (Round your answer to one decimal place.

Figure in plane geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The angle is measured in degrees using a protractor. The different types of angles are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex.
