Detailed Solution

Given,
Question ImageHeight of the tree = AC+BC=12 m,
Considering AC=x m,
We have the formula,
tanθ=heightbase We have to find the height from the bottom,
In ΔABC,
 sin60=x12-x 32=x12-x 3(12-x)=2x 123-3x=2x 123=2x+3x 123=x(2+3) x=1232+3 x=(123)(2-3)(2+3)(2-3)  x=(123)(2-3)4-3 x=123(2)-12×3 x=243-36 x=5.569 m   (Taking 3=1.732)
Thus, the value of x is 5.569m.
Therefore the correct option is 1.
