A tree breaks due to storm and the broken part bends so that the top of the tree touches the ground making an angle `30^@` with it. The distance between the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches the ground is 8 m. Find the height of the tree.

To solve the problem of finding the height of the tree after it has broken and bent, we can break it down into a few steps. ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry When the tree breaks, it forms two segments: the part that remains upright (let's call it AC) and the part that has bent down to the ground (let's call it AB). The point where the top of the tree touches the ground is point B, and the foot of the tree is point C. The angle between the broken part (AB) and the ground (BC) is given as 30 degrees. ### Step 2: Identify the Known Values - The distance from the foot of the tree (C) to the point where the top touches the ground (B) is 8 m (BC = 8 m). - The angle at which the broken part touches the ground is 30 degrees. ...
