To convert the height of the tree from inches to feet, we use a conversion factor. We know that:
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in).
Let's set up our conversion equation:
[tex]\[
\text{Tree height in feet} = \frac{\text{Tree height in inches}}{12 \text{ inches per foot}}
\][/tex]
Plug in the given height of the tree:
[tex]\[
\text{Tree height in feet} = \frac{1584 \text{ in}}{12 \text{ in/ft}}
\][/tex]
Calculating this:
[tex]\[
\text{Tree height in feet} = 132 \text{ ft}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the height of the tree is 132 feet.
