Answer:
3.7m
Step-by-step explanation:
The set up will form of right angled triangle with;
the length of the wires (the hypotenuse) = 4m
The base of the tree from the wire (adjacent) = 1.5m
The height of the tree(opposite ) = x
According to pythagoras theorem;
hyp² = opp²+adj²
4² = x²+1.5²
16 = x²+2.25
x² = 16 - 2.25
x² = 13.75
x = √13.75
x = 3.708
Hence the tree is 3.7m high (to the nearest tenth)
