Question

A tree is broken at a height of 4m from the ground at a distance of 3m from the Base of the tree. find the original height of the tree ​

Answer 1

Answer:

9m

Step-by-step explanation:

according to Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

so total height = x+4

while x² = 3³ + 4²

x² = 9 + 16

x² = 25

x = 5

so total height = x+4

= 5+4

= 9m
