Answer:
16 m
Step-by-step explanation:
After tree broke it will form a right angle triangle:-
height from the ground = 6 m ( perpendicular )
and, Distance from the base = 8 m ( base )
Original height of tree = hypotenuse + height from the ground
( Perpendicular )^2 + ( Base )^2 = ( Hypotenuse )^2
(6)^2 + (8)^2 = ( Hypotenuse )^2
36 + 64 = ( Hypotenuse )^2
Hypotenuse = √100
= 10m
hence
the height of tree is = 10 +6
16 m
