​ meters.

Answer 1

24.6967 meters

Explanation:

The roots of the tree go 6 and 5 over 12 meters below the ground level.

Now, 6 and 5 over 12 meters is equivalent to 6.4167 meters.

Again the top of the tree is 18.28 meters high from the ground level.

Therefore, the total height of the tree from the bottom of the root to the top is
