A tree is broken by the wind and the top strikes the ground at an angle of 30°. If the distance from the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches the ground is 20 m, find the height of the tree.
Q1. A tree is broken by the wind and the top strikes the ground at an angle of 30°. If the distance from the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches the ground is 20 m, find the height of the tree.
Answer: 20(1 + √3) / √3 m
Explanation: Using trigonometric ratios, we can find the height of the broken part and add it to the height of the remaining part.
