11. A large pine tree was struck by lightning and fell as shown by the diagram below. Which equation
could be used to find the length of the fallen part of
the tree?
8 ft
13 ft —
A. 82 +132 - X
B. N82+132 -
C. 132 - 82 = X
D. V132 - 82 - *

It forms a right triangle.

To find X you can use the Pythagorean theorem which would be written as x^2 = a^2 + b^2

This can be rewritten as x = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

Using the dimensions of the tree the answer would be :

B. x = sqrt(8^2 + 13^2)
