Answer:
13.85 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the height at which the tree is broken,
Let Y be the length of the bend by the tree which touches the ground.
X + Y = Height of the tree.
tan 30° = 1 /√3 = x / 8 ; x = 8 /√3 .
cos 30° = √3 / 2 = 8 / y ; y = 16 /√3 .
x + y = (16 /√3 + 8 /√3) m
= 24 /√3 m
= 8√3 m
= 13.85 m
∴ Height of the tree is 13.85 m.
