Question

A tree breaks due to Strom and the broken paet bends so that. the top of tree touches the ground make angle 30 with it .The distance b/w the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches ground is 8m.find height of tree..

Answer 1

tan30=P/8
1/root3=P/8
P=8/root3
P=8 root3 /3 m

Answer 2

Tan30° = p/b =p/8
1/root3=p/8
P=8/root3

Now cos30° = b/h = 8/h
root3/2 = 8/h
h =16/root3

Height of tree = P + h =8/root3+16/root3
=24/root3
=8root3
