उत्तर
In the given figure, BC represents the unbroken part of the tree. Point C represents the point where the tree broke and CA represents the broken part of the tree. Triangle ABC, thus formed, is right-angled at B.
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,
AC2 = BC2 + AB2
AC2 = (5 m)2 + (12 m)2
AC2 = 25 m2 + 144 m2
AC2 = 169 m2
AC = 13 m
Thus, original height of the tree = AC + CB
= 13 m + 5 m
= 18 m
