Answer:

  9.80 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationship between sides of a right triangle and its angles.

__

setup

The geometry of this problem can be modeled by a right triangle, so these relations apply. We are given an angle and adjacent side, and asked for the opposite side, so the relation of interest is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Using the given values, we have ...

  tan(24°) = AC/AB = (tree height)/(distance from tree)

  tan(24°) = AC/(22 m)

solution

Multiplying by 22 m gives ...

  tree height = AC = (22 m)·tan(24°) ≈ 9.79503 m

The height of the tree is about 9.80 meters.
