Question

trees breaking down during storms.
One such tree had fallen down but it did not break down into two pieces. Its
top touches the ground at a distance of 6 m from the foot of the tree and the point where it
broke was at a height of 8 m from the ground. what was the original height of the tree?​

Answer 1

Answer:

THE LENGTH OF TREE IS 18m

Step-by-step explanation:

PARAMETERS GIVEN,

PERPENDICULAR HEIGHT = 8m

BASE LENGTH = 6m

SO,

LET THE LENGTH OF THE BROKEN PART BE x

SO,

(P)²+(B)²=(H)²

(8m)²+(6m)²=(x)²

64m²+36m²=x²

100m²=x²

x=$\sqrt{100m^{2} }$

x=10m

SO,

THE LENGTH OF THE TREE =

LENGTH OF BROKEN PART + LENGTH OF PERPENDICULAR HEIGHT

10m+8m

18m

SO,

LENGTH OF TREE = 18m

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION!!!
