Answer:

 h = 30.57 m

Explanation:

given,

angle made with horizon, θ= 27°

Length of the shadow,L = 60 m

now,

the height of the tree would be equal to

[tex]tan \theta = \dfrac{height\ of tree}{shadow\ length}[/tex]

[tex]tan 27^0 = \dfrac{h}{60}[/tex]

 h = 60 x tan 27°

 h = 30.57 m

hence, height of the tree is equal to 30.57 m
