      Question

      A tree breaks due to a storm and the top touches the

      ground 30 meters away from its base, making a 30-degree angle with the ground. What was the height of the tree before it broke?
      A 30 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Using trigonometry (tan) = opposite/adjacent): tan 30Β° = Height/30 Since tan 30Β° = 1/√3 1 /√3 =Height/30 Height = 30Γ—1/√3 Β  β‰ˆ 17.32 meters Approximating to the closest option: 15 meters
