What is the length of the broken part? *
What was the height of the full tree? *
Answers
The tree was standing perpendicular to the ground. Hence it forms right angled triangle to the ground.
we can find the Length of the broken part by Pythagoras theorem
=> √15²+20²
=> √225+400
=> √625
=> 25m
total height of the tree = broken part + unbroken part
=> 15m + 25m
=> 40m
I hope it helps you.
Length of broken part and height of full tree is 25 m and 40 m.
Given - Length of unbroken part and distance
Find - Length of broken part and height of full tree
Solution - Let the length of broken part be x. The given image shows formation of a right angled triangle. Hence, x can be calculated through Pythagoras theorem.
x² = 15² + 20²
x² = 225 + 400
x² = 625
x = ✓625
x = 25 m
Height of full tree = length of broken part + length of unbroken prt
Height of full tree = 25 + 15
Height of full tree = 40 m
Hence, length of broken part and height of full tree is 25 m and 40 m.
