Answer:
16ft rounded to nearest 10th You cna see which one from the two it was below,
The taller tree 14ft also had elevation 16ft to be closer and so the elevation of the taller tree just so happened to be nearer to the house.
This is because the 9ft tree elevation was further away and works out to be 18ft elevation so it cant be the shorter it has to be the bigger tree.
Answer is 16ft
Step-by-step explanation:
With the 9ft tall tree we count run 16 on x axis then count up and know its 9
We then work out the diagonal line through Pythagoras.
Where a sq + b sq = c sq
9sq + 16sq = ?
c sq = ? = ?
--------------
We try again with pen to work out
9sq + 16sq
csq = sqrt 81 + sqrt 256 = sqrt 337
csq = sqrt 337 = 18.35
Tree 9ft = 18.35 from house to top of the tree top
---------------
Tree 14ft tall
14sq + 8sq
csq = sqrt 196 + sqrt 64 = 260
csq = sqrt 260 = 16.12
Tree 14ft = 16.12 from house to top of tree top
