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.

Question 4 <br> Use the figure below to find the value of x and y
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

x=4, y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of y

we know that

In the right triangle of the figure

cos(30\°)=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{y}

Remember that

cos(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

so

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{y}

Simplify

y=8\ units

step 2

Find the value of x

In the right triangle of the figure

sin(30\°)=\frac{x}{8}

Remember that

sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}

so

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{8}

x=4\ units
