To find the height of the tree before it was broken, we can use trigonometric ratios. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The tree is broken, and the top of the tree strikes the ground at an angle of \(30^\circ\) and at a distance of 4 meters from the root. We need to find the height of the tree before it was broken. ### Step 2: Set Up the Triangle Let: - \(A\) be the point where the tree was originally standing (the top of the tree). ...
