√7-1/√7+1 - √7+1/√7-1

28.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be solved by using Pythagoras Theorem.

Given:-

Height of tree :- 18 feet (Perpendicular)

length of shadow :- 22 feet (Base)

To find:-

Distance of shadow from the end to the top of the tree

Solution:-

We know the Pythagoras theorem,

Which is , H² = P² + B²

So putting the given value , we get

H² = 18²+22²

H² = 324 + 484

H = √ 808 feet

H = 28.4 feet
