The top of the flag pole touched the ground 12 feet from the base.
Since it cracked 9 feet from the base, 9 is the vertical leg of the right triangle formed. The rest of the flagpole, 24-9=15, is the hypotenuse, as it is slanted down to the ground. The missing side is the horizontal leg, which we will call b:
9²+b²=15²
81+b²=225
Subtract 81 from both sides:
81+b²-81=225-81
b²=144
Take the square root of both sides:
√b²=√144
b=12
Answer:
320 cups of soup
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5= x/800
2/5 =.04
800*.04 =320 x=320
2/5 = 320/800
2/5 =0.4 is equivalent to 320/800=0.4
Answer: Time taken by pipe C to empty the tank = 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Pipe A can fill a tank in 5 hours.
Let time taken by Pipe C = x ( hours)
Time taken by Pipe B = x-2 ( hours)
Now, with all 3 pipes open, it takes 3 hours to fill the tank, it can be represented as

Time cannot be negative,
So, x=5
Thus, Time taken by pipe C to empty the tank = 5 hours.
