Question

Can someone help me ASAP

Answer 1

36 ft.

Explanation:

Use the Pythagoras Theorem.

h^2 = 10^2 + 24^2

h^2 = 676

h = √676

h = 26 ft.

Original height = 10+26 = 36 ft.

Answer 2

D. 36 ft

Explanation:

the TRee form with the ground a right triangle

let’s calculate the length of the upper part of the tree which is the hypotenuse of the triangle:

now ,using the Pythagorean theorem we get :

upper part = √(10²+24²)

= 26

then

the original height of the tree

= 10 + 26

= 36 ft
