Question

A tree is broken at a height of 12 m from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of 35 m from the base of the tree. Find the original height of the tree.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagoras theorem

let the base be x

now,

12²+x²=35²

114+x²=1225

x²=1225-144

x²= 1081

x=underroot1081

x=32.8785

Answer 2

Answer:

49m

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 12^2 + 35^2

x^2 = 144+ 1225

x^2 = 1369

x = √1369

x = 37

Height of the tree = 37+12

= 49
