Sorry, it took so long to get back to you, The question is A 24-foot tall tree was hit by lightning during a storm cracked and fell over. After it broke the top of the tree touched the ground 12 feet from the base of the tree. How tall is the part of the tree still standing? bottom of the triangle 12 feet A is X and the hypotenuse is blank.
