For questions like these you should draw the dimensions as a right triangle and use sine, cosine, and tangent to determine the answer. In this case, tangent is our friend.

The angle we need is equal to
$\frac{35}{60}$
which is the tree height divided by the shadow length. All we have to do is inverse the function and do
$\arctan( \frac{35}{60} ) = 30.256$
