The height of the pole is 6.50 meters

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

To calculate the height of the pole, we will use of the following equivalent ratios.

By Pythagoras theorem, we have:

x ^2 = 2^2 + 3^2\\\\x ^2 = 4 + 9\\\\x = \sqrt{13}

So, we have:

h = \dfrac{\sqrt{13}^2 }{2} \\\\h = \dfrac{13}{2}\\\\h = 6.5

Hence, the height of the pole is 6.50 meters

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.95, 2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

cookie-x

ice bar-y

7x+2y=10.95 (*3)

4x+3y=10.25 (*2)

21x+6y=32.85

8x+6y=20.5

21x-8x=32.85-20.5=12.35

13x=12.35

x=0.95

2y=10.95-7*0.95=4.3

y=2.15
