Question

8: Two trees 7 m and 4 m high stand upright on a ground. If their bases (roots) are 4 m apart, then find the distance between their tops. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between trees:

• 4 m

Difference in height:

• 7 m - 4 m = 3 m

Distance between tops is the hypotenuse of right triangle with legs 4 m and 3 m:

• √4²+3²= √25= 5 m
