To find the height of the tree before it was broken, we can break down the problem into manageable steps using trigonometry. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understand the Problem**: - The tree is broken at a point, and the top of the tree strikes the ground at an angle of \(30^\circ\) from the horizontal, forming a right triangle with the ground. - The distance from the base of the tree to the point where the top strikes the ground is 4 m. ...
