A tree is broken due to the storm in such a way that the top of the tree touches the ground and makes an angle of 300 with the ground. Length of the broken upper part of the tree is 8 meters. Find the height of the tree before it was broken.
Let, AB is the tree and this tree is broken at Point C,
Let be,
⇒ AC = X
In △ CAD, sin 30° = `"AC"/"DC"`
⇒ `1/2` = `"X"/8`
⇒ x = 4 m
Therefore, The length of the tree is ⇒ (8 + 4) cm = 12 m
