Question

. A tree is broken at a height of 4 m from the ground
and its top touches the ground at a distance of
3 m from the base of the tree. Find the original
height of the tree.​

Answer 1

Answer:

9m

Step-by-step explanation:

by Pythagoras theorem, we can clearly see that a right triangle is formed with the broken part of the tree as the hypotenuse ='x'm , the remaining part of the tree as height=4m and the distance from the base of the tree where the top part of the broken tree touched the ground = 3m.

Now , according to the Question →

=>4²+3² = x²

=>x² = 25

=> x = 5m

therefore, the total length of the tree => 4+5 = 9m.

hope it helped .

thanks !!
