The equation to find the length of the fallen part of the tree is
[tex]x=\sqrt{8^2+13^2}[/tex]
Right Triangle.
Right triangles is a triangle with one angle is 90 degree.
The side opposite to 90 degree is the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem
the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse .
The length of the fallen part of the tree is the hypotenuse
Hypotenuse is 'x'
Base of the triangle is 13 feet and height is 8 ft
Apply Pythagorean theorem to find out the hypotenuse 'x'
[tex]hypotenuse^2= base^2 + height ^2\\x^2=\sqrt{13^2+8^2} \\x=\sqrt{13^2+8^2}[/tex]
the equation to find the length of the fallen part is
[tex]x=\sqrt{8^2+13^2}[/tex]
