The answer is 72.
You can figure this out using the Pythagorean theorem: C (78) squared - A (30) squared = B squared though since you already know the longest side.
78 x 78 = 6084
30 x 30 = 900
6084-900= 5184
The square root of 5184 is 72.

Answer:

14.3 feet.

14.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem forms a right triangle in which:

The Vertical Leg of the Right Triangle = 3 feet

The Horizontal Leg of the Right Triangle =14 feet

We are to determine the length of the broken part of the tree. This is the Hypotenuse of the Right Triangle,

Using Pythagoras Theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\Hypotenuse^2=14^2+3^2\\Hypotenuse^2=205\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{205}\\Hypotenuse=14.32\\ \approx 14.3 feet $(to the nearest tenth of a foot).\\Therefore, the lenght of the broken part of the tree to the nearest tenth of a foot is 14.3 feet.$
