Let the distance between the tree and the first point (point H) be x and let the height of the tree be h, then:



Also, the distance from the tree to the second point (point L) is x + 60, thus:



From (1) and (2), we have:



From (1):

h = x tan 40° = 132.4 (0.8391) = 111.1 feet.

Therefore, the height of the tree is 111.1 feet
