A tree is broken by the wind. The top of the tree strikes the ground at an angle of 30°. If the distance from the root to the point where the top strikes the ground is 10m, what was the height of the tree?
Q1. A tree is broken by the wind. The top of the tree strikes the ground at an angle of 30°. If the distance from the root to the point where the top strikes the ground is 10m, what was the height of the tree?
Answer: 17.32 m
Explanation: Using sin(30°) = h1 / broken_length and cos(30°) = 10 / broken_length, we can find h1 and then total height.
