7.) A bird sits on top of a lamppost. The angle made by the lamppost and a line from the feet of the bird to the feet of an observer standing away from the lamppost is 55. The distance from the lamppost to the observer is 25 feet. Draw a picture and estimate the height of the lamppost (round to the hundredths place)?
