Broken tree

The tree was 35 meters high. The tree broke at a height of 10 m above the ground. Top but does not fall off it refuted on the ground. How far from the base of the tree lay its peak?

Result

x =  22.913 m

Solution:

x=(35−10)2−102=22.913  m x=\sqrt{ (35-10)^{ 2 }-10^{ 2 } } = 22.913 \ \text{ m }
