Question

A tree is broken by the wind. If the point from where it broken is 10 m above the ground and its
top branch touches the ground at a distance of 24 m from its foot, find the total height of the tree
before it broke.​

Answer 1

Answer:

sorry don't know the ans

Answer 2

The tree broke forming a right angled angled triangle.

The current  length of the  tree from  ground  =  leg  1

                                                                            =  10m

The  length the  top  of  the  tree is  away  from the  foot =  leg 2

                                                                                              =  24m

Sum of squares  of legs=square of hypotenuse

10x10+24x24= 676

                     = square  of 26

total  length  of tree= 26+  The current  length of the  tree from  ground

                                =  26+10

                                =  36m
