Question

A tree broken down due to storm at a point but did not get seperate.its top touched to ground at a distance of 10m from its base.if the height of the point from the ground, at which tree was broken is 12/25 of the total height of tree , find its height​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the tree's height is x meters, the broken tree forms a right triangle with sides 12/25 x and 10. The hypotenuse is 13/25 x.

10^2 + (.48x)^2 = (.52x)^2

Now just solve for x.
