Question

A tree broke at a point but did not separate. Its top touched the ground at a distance of 6 m from its base. If the point where it broke be at a height of 8 m from the ground, what was the total height of tree before it broke?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

by pythagorus theorem

we can find the height

let the height of the tree be x m

x^2=6^2+(8)^2

x^2=36+64

X=√100

x=10m
