Question

A tree's root is 13 feet below ground and spans a radius of 8 feet. If the tree's elevation above ground is 28 feet with branches that span a radius of 12 feet, what is the total length of the tree from root tip to top?
A) 15 feet
B) 35 feet
C) 41 feet
D) 47 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

41 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the tree from root tip to top = Length of the tree from root tip to ground level + Length of the tree from ground level to top

It is given that the length of the root is 13 feet..

Also, it is given that the elevation of the tree above the ground level is 28 feet.

Hence, length of the tree from root tip to top = 13 + 28

= 41 feet.

Answer 2

The total length of the tree will be given by:
Total=(elevation above the ground)+(length of the root)
elevation=28 ft
length of the root=13
thus the length of the tree will be:
28+13
=41 ft
