We conclude that the angle at the top measures 65.8°.
What angle does the top part?
The whole tree measures 117 ft, and it is broken 34 ft above the ground, forming this way a right triangle.
Then one cathetus of the right triangle measures 34ft, and the hypotenuse measures 117ft - 34ft = 83ft
The angle at the top is θ, the adjacent cathetus to it is the one that measures 34 ft, then to get the angle we can use the relation:
cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
Replacing what we know, we get:
cos(θ) = (34 ft)/(83ft) = 34/83
Solving for θ, we get:
θ = Acos( 34/83) = 65.8°
So we conclude that the angle at the top measures 65.8°.
