Respuesta :
this is a right triangle equation
so a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c^2 is the hypotenuse and the 15 feet
a^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
a^2 + 81 = 225
a^2 = 144
the square root of 144 is 12
the tree is 12 feet tall

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
if you draw the picture in your copybook you will see that there is a right triangle, we have the Pythagorean theorem i.e c=√a²+b²
15=√9²+x². the trees tall=X
15²=9²+x²
x²= 144
X= 12
