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

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
AC = 3.72 units
Angles:
A = 132.6°
C = 27.4°
Step-by-step explanation:
AC² = 5² + 8² - 2(5)(8)cos(20)
AC² = 13.82459034
AC = 3.718143399
3.718143399/sin20 = 8/sinA
sinA = 0.7358944647
A = 180 - 47.38285134
A = 132.6171487
3.718143399/sin20 = 5/sinC
sinC = 0.4599340405
C = 27.38285134
