Two trees of heights 58m and 10 m stand upright on the ground, with a distance of 14 m between them.
the length of the rope stretched from the top of one tree to the top of the other tree.
Answers
length of the rope is 50
Step-by-step explanation:
length of the first tree =10m
length of the second tree=58m
58-10=48
distance between them is 14m
(√48)²+(√14) ²= √x
√2304+√196=√x
x=√2500
x=50
so, length of the rope is 50.
The length of the rope stretched from top of one tree to the top of other tree is 50 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Two trees of heights 58 m and 10 m stand upright on the ground, with a distance of 14 m between them.
Let distance between top of the tree be d m
Please see attachment for figure.
Draw a line parallel to base from lower height of tree.
So, CD || AB
ABCD is a rectangle.
AD = BC = 10 m
DC = AB = 14 m
ED = AE - AD
= 58 - 10
= 48 m
In ΔDEC, ∠EDC = 90° (Using Pythagorean theorem)
Taking square root both sides
Hence, the distance between top of the tree is 50 m
