A15 foot pole is leaning against a tree. the bottom of the pole is 8 feet away from the bottom of the tree. approximately how high up the tree does the top of the pole reach?

The top of the pole is approximately 13 feet high up the tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram for the given scenario is shown below.

From triangle ABC, A is the top of pole and B is the bottom of pole.

AC is the height of tree. BC is the distance of the  bottom of pole from the tree.

Given:

AB = 15 ft, BC = 8 ft

To find:

AC = ?

Since triangle ABC is right angled triangle, we apply Pythagoras Theorem to find the unknown side. So,

Therefore, the height of the tree is approximately 13 ft.
