uploaded imageAn observer, whose eyes are 1.77 m above the ground, is standing 36.0 m away from a tree. The ground is level, and the tree is growing perpendicular to it. The observer's line of sight with the treetop makes an angle of 16.0° above the horizontal. How tall is the tree?

The diagram is how I understood the question, I assumed there was a right angle where the horizontal and tree met because the tree is perpendicular to the ground. I got 11.77 as an answer but it was wrong, How should it be solved?
