A lumber mill needs one more tree cut down that is at least 41 feet long. The person cutting down the tree is 5 feet 3 inches tall. Using shadows to determine whether a tree is tall enough, the person stands next to the tree and measures the length of his shadow as 36 inches. What is the length (to the nearest tenth of a foot) of the tree's shadow that will allow the tree to be cut down?
