Question

Due to cyclone, an old tree in Shyam’s garden fell down but as his grandfather insisted,
the family tried to support the tree with a wire to make it upright. The tree was supported
by a wire anchored to the ground 5 feet from its base. The wire is 1 foot longer than the
height of the tree.
1).Find the length of the wire

Answer 1

Answer:

the length of the wire = 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say Length of Wire = L ft

The wire is 1 foot longer than the height that it reaches on the tree

=> Height of tree it reaches = L - 1   ft

=> Perpendicular Height = L - 1 ft

wire anchored in the ground 5 feet from its base.

=> Base = 5 ft

Hypostenuse² = Base² + Length²

=> L² = 5² + (L - 1)²

=> L² = 25 + L² + 1 - 2L

=> 2L = 26

=> L = 13

the length of the wire = 13 feet

Answer 2

the answer is add the 5+1=6+1=7
