As shown in the figure below, Isabel is looking at a tree that is leaning at an angle of 87° with respect to the ground. The angle of elevation from where Isabel is standing to the top of the tree is 45°. The length of the tree is 74 feet. Find the distance, x, from Isabel to the base of the tree. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. 74 ft feet X 45° -X 87°
