Question

you are lying 120 feet away from a tree that is 50 feet tall you look up at the top of the tree apart a proximately how far is your head from the top of the tree in a straight line

Answer 1

pythagoren theorem

your distance from tree is bottom leg
height of tree is height leg

a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b ar legs,
c=hypotnuse=distance from head to treee

50^2+120^2=c^2
2500+14400=c^2
16900=c^2
sqrt both sides
130=c^2
you are 130 feet away
