Answer:
Solution 2. A right triangle is formed with the bottom of the flagpole, the snapped part, and the ground. One leg is of length $1 ...
Missing: picture way barely
Step-by-step explanation:
A flagpole is originally $5$ meters tall. A hurricane snaps the flagpole at a point $x$ meters above the ground so that the upper part, still attached to the stump, touches the ground $1$ meter away from the base. What is $x$?
$\text{(A) } 2.0 \qquad \text{(B) } 2.1 \qquad \text{(C) } 2.2 \qquad \text{(D) } 2.4 \qquad \text{(E) } 2.5$
Solution 1
The broken flagpole forms a right triangle with legs $1$ and $x$, and hypotenuse $5-x$. The Pythagorean theorem now states that $1^2 + x^2 = (5-x)^2$, hence $10x = 24$, and $x=\boxed{2.4}$.
(Note that the resulting triangle is the well-known $5-12-13$ right triangle, scaled by $1/5$.)
Solution 2
A right triangle is formed with the bottom of the flagpole, the snapped part, and the g

Hey there!
2/3 = a/30
First: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY the given numbers
2(30) = 3(a)
2(30) = 60
3(a) = 3a
New EQUATION: 3a = 60
Second: DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES
3a/3 = 60/3
CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1
KEEP: 60/3 because that helps you solve for your a-value
60/3 = a
60/3 = 20
Therefore, your answer is: a = 20
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

300 because
You have to multiply 81 times 100 and then divide by 27
