Answer 1

36 ft

Explanation:

The first step is to find the length of the hypotenuse of the newly formed right triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem:

`x=√(10^2+24^2)=√(100+576)=√(676)=26`

Adding this to the 10 foot tall part of the tree that remains standing, you get an initial height of 26+10=36 feet. Hope this helps!
