Question

Обезьянка пробежала 5 м по спине змеи и взобралась на самый верх пальмы, оставаясь на той же высоте, обезьянка перепрыгнула на соседнее дерево, которое стояло в 3 м от пальмы. Какой высоты была пальма, если обезьянка проделала путь в 15 м?

Answer 1

15-3-5=7(м) - это высота у пальмы

Answer 2

Answer in detail. The monkey ran 5 m along the back of the snake and climbed to the top of the palm tree, staying at the same height, the monkey jumped to the next tree, which was 3 m from the palm tree. How high was the palm tree, if the monkey made a path of 15 m?

The answer is 10 m. Here is how I solved it:

- First, I drew a diagram of the situation using the given information. The diagram shows the monkey, the snake, the palm tree, and the next tree. I also labeled the distances and the height of the palm tree as x.

- Next, I used the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of x. The Pythagorean theorem states that for a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the hypotenuse is the path of the monkey, which is 15 m, and the other two sides are x and 8 m (the sum of 5 m and 3 m).

- Therefore, I can write the equation: $$15^2 = x^2 + 8^2$$ - To solve for x, I simplified the equation and took the square root of both sides: $$x = \sqrt{15^2 - 8^2}$$ - Using a calculator, I got the approximate value of x as 10.0499 m. I rounded it to the nearest whole number, which is 10 m.

- Hence, the height of the palm tree is 10 m.
