Okay I will draw it
hope it helps you
Given : A tree is broken at a height of 10m from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of 24m from the base of the tree.
To Find : the original height of the tree.
Solution:
Let say height of part of tree broken = x m
Then height of original tree = 10 + x m
top touches the ground at a distance of 24m from the base of the tree.
Hence x m is the hypotenuse , 10 m is the height and 24 m is the base
=> x² = 10² + 24²
=> x² = 26²
=> x= 26
x + 10 = 26 + 10
=> x + 10 = 36
Hence original height of the tree. = 36 m
