After a hurricane, a homeowner examines trees on his property for damage. He thinks a 21 ft palm tree is leaning slightly from its original vertical position. From a point 25 ft away, he measures the angle of elevation to the top of the palm tree as 49°. Is the palm tree leaning? If so, by how many degrees from the vertical? Round to the nearest tenth of a degree. Is the answer 39.55 degrees?
