Answer:
The answer is - The measurement 9 m can be the perpendicular of the triangle formed .
The measurement 12 m can be the base of the triangle, and since the triangle is a right angled triangle, h^2 = 9^2+12^2
h square = 81 + 144
h square = 225
h square = root 225
h square = 15 m
Since we have found the broken part, we can add the broken and the remaining part, total height of the tree = 9+15+ 24m
