47.7\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In a right triangle the tangent of an angle is equal to divide the opposite side to the angle by the adjacent side to the angle

so

In this problem

tan(50\°)=\frac{BC}{AC}

The tall of the tree is BC

BC=ACtan(50\°)

AC=40\ ft

substitute

BC=40*tan(50\°)=47.7\ ft
