Answer 2

Answer:

18m

Step-by-step explanation:  The information given in the question results in a right-angled triangle with base 12m (distance of top of the tree from the base), height 5m (height of leftover tree), and hypotenuse is unknown which can easily be calculated by using pythagoras theorem which comes out to be 13m therefore the total height of the tree= 5m+13m = 18m
