Answer :

The tree is  5.3 ft rope anchored to the ground.

What is Pythagorean theorem?

The square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Given:

rope length(H)= 8 feet

Perpendicular = 6 feet

Using Pythagorean theorem

H² = P² + B²

8² = 6² +B²

64- 36= B²

B²=28

B= √25

B = 5.3 ft
