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
