We can solve this question using trigonometric functions. Here, we use the tangent of the angle of elevation to find the height of the tree.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan 40^o=\frac{h}{35} \\ 0.839=\frac{h}{35} \\ 0.839\times35=h \\ 29.36=h \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the height of the tree is 29 feet (to the nearest foot).
