( d) 30 m
The height of full tree was 40 m.
Option ( a)
Given :
The unbroken part of the tree is 15 m
Base of the tree is 20 m.
To find :
What was the height of full tree?
Solution:
Let the broken part of the tree be x m.
The unbroken part of the tree is 15 m
Base of the tree is 20 m.
By Pythagoras theoram
( x) ² = ( 15) ² + ( 20 )²
x ² = 225 + 400
x ² = 625
x = 25 m
The height of full tree = 15 m + broken part
= 15 + 25
= 40 m.
Hence the height of full tree was 40 m.
