Answer 1

Answer:

36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$x=\sqrt{10^2+24^2}=\sqrt{100+576}=\sqrt{676}=26$

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!
