Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM | Animation
- The problem involves finding the height of a tree using the Pythagorean Theorem.
- The ladder (10 meters) is the hypotenuse (c) of a right triangle.
- The distance from the base of the tree to the ladder's foot (3 meters) is one leg (b).
- The height of the tree (a) is the unknown leg.
- Apply the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c².
- Substitute known values: a² + 3² = 10².
- Calculate: a² + 9 = 100.
- Solve for a²: a² = 100 - 9 = 91.
- Take the square root: a = √91 ≈ 9.54 meters.
