    15 ft

    Explanation:

    We use tangent of angles. Let Ф = angle of depression of Emir's line of sight = angle of elevation of base of swingset from Emir = 33.69°. Let x = height of tree = 10 ft and y = distance of base of tree from swingset.

    So tanФ = x/y and y = x/tanФ

    y = x/tanФ

    = 10 ft/tan33.69°

    = 15 ft
