Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

= 25 + 144

= 169.

Hypotenuse = √169

= 13

Height of the tree = 13 + 5 (initial height of tree.)

Height = 18
