Question

8.A tree is broken due to the storm in such a way that the top of the tree touches the ground and makes an angle of 300 with the ground. Length of the broken upper part of the tree is 8 meters. Find the height of the tree before it was broken.

Answer 1

Answer:

$8 \sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cos 30°=BD/AD

BD=root3AD/2

AD =16/root3

Tan 30°=AB/BD

AB=8/root3

Height of tree=AD+AB

=16/root3+8/root3

=24/root3

Height of tree=8/root3
