Question

The trunk of a tree cracks at a point 10 m above the ground. The tree falls and its top tou
a distance of 24 m from the base of the tree. Find the actual height of the tree.
and 6 Write which of the following is​

Answer 1

answer is about 31.8mtrs

if the pt.the tree has broken in a

the pt. of the tree base is b

and the pt. the tree met after breaking is c

then, according to Pythagoras theorem

ACsquare=ABsqare+BCsquare

24×24=10×10+BCsquare

576=100+BCsquare

BCsquare=476

BC=√476

BC is 21.8 MTR

ab + BC is height of the tree

therefore the answer is 31.8
