Answer:
52.8 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram :
The height of tree woulb be :
Height above the ground (at breakpoint) + hypotenus
Hypotenus, h cab be obtained using Pythagoras rule :
h² = opp² + adj²
h² = 39² + 12²
h² = 1665
h = sqrt(1665)
h = 40.804 feets
Height of tree to the nearest tenth ;
40.804 feets + 12 feets
= 52.804 feets
= 52.8 feets
