12.7 because you use the pythagoreom theory which states a^2+b^2=c^2 and you use algebra to get a by itself and solve

The tree will reach 12.7 feet.

How to find the height?

12.7 because you use the Pythagorean theory which states a²+b²=c².

Given,

a²+b²=c²

b² = c²-a²

b²= 15² - 8²

b² = √225 - 64

b² = √161

b = 12.68

b ≅ 12.7
