To find the height of the tree, you can use trigonometry, specifically the tangent function, which relates the angle of elevation to the height and distance from the tree. The formula is: height = distance × tan(angle). In this case, height = 14 feet × tan(72 degrees), which is approximately 14 feet × 3.0777, resulting in a height of about 43.1 feet.
