Question

A tree is broken at a height of 5 m from the ground
and its top touches the ground at a distance of
12 m from the base of the tree. Find the original
height of the tree.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A'CB be the tree before it broken at the point C and let the top A' touches the ground at A after it broke. Then ΔABC is a right angled triangle, at B. Hence, the total height of the tree(A'B) = A'C + CB = 13 + 5 = 18 m
