Answer:

The original height of the tree is 18 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached photo for explanation.

From the diagram, we shall determine the value of 'x'. This can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as follow:

x² = 5² + 12²

x² = 25 + 144

x² = 169

Take the square root of both side

x = √169

x = 13 m

Finally, we shall determine the original height of the tree. This can be obtained as follow.

From the question given above, the tree was broken from a height of 5 m from the ground which form a right angle triangle with x being the Hypothenus as illustrated in the diagram.

Thus, the original height of the will be the sum of 5 and x i.e

Height = 5 + x

x = 13 m

Height = 5 + 13

Height = 18 m

Therefore, the original height of the tree is 18 m.

How to convert a fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms?
saveliy_v [14]
Well at first you take the numerator (the top number) and divide it by the denominator (the lower number) that'll give you the whole number. then you would reduce only the fraction. for example lets say that we have 4/8 We know that at the very least since they are both  even numbers we can divide by so so if we do that we have 2/4 oh look, even numbers again and divide both sides by two again and you get 1/2.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 87 ft. The length is x ft and the width is 19 ft. What is the length of the rectangle, in feet?
marta [7]

Answer: The length is 24.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W.

Plug in the values you know

87 = 2L + 2(19)

Solve for L

87 = 2L + 38

subtract 38 from both sides

49 = 2L

divide both sides by 2

L = 24.5
