Question

You are lying 120ft away from a tree that is 50feet tall .you look up at the top of the tree . approximately how far is ur head from the top of the tree. In straight line

Answer 1

Leg 1 would be 120 ft, leg 2 would be 50 ft. use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2, a&b are legs, c is hypotenuse. sqt 16900= 130. (the issue with the question is the height of the person, but I think the question wants the hypotenuse.

Answer 2

If you picture this scenario in your mind, you can see that yourself and the tree form a right triangle. Therefore, you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the distance between your head and the top of the tree.
a² + b² = c²
50² + 120² = c²
2500 + 14400 = 16900
√16900 = 130
So your answer is 130ft. I hope this helps!
