Question

a tree is broken at a height of 6 cm from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of 8cm from the base of the tree . find the original height of the tree pls do to step to step explaination ​

Answer 1

I guess its 16

Explanation:

Because

Hieght =6cm

Base = 8cm

Hypotenuse=?

by pythagoras formula = a^2+b^2=c^2

6 *6 + 8*8 =c^2

36 + 64 = c^2

100 =c^2

Root of 100 is 10

so the whole tree is = to 10 +6 =16
