Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\text{69.02 ft}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Mrs. Davis is at Point A, and the bobcat is at Point C.

The tree makes a right angle with the ground.

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\tan A & = &\dfrac{BC}{AB}\\\\\tan 49^{\circ} & = &\dfrac{BC}{60}\\\\1.150 & = &\dfrac{BC}{60}\\\\1.150 \times 60 & = &BC\\\\BC& = & \textbf{69.02 ft}\\\end{array}\\\text{The tree is $\large \boxed{\textbf{69.02 ft}}$ tall.}[/tex]
