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
The LCM is the lowest number that is a multiple of all three numbers.
First, list the multiples of each number
8: 8, 16, 24, 32,40 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120
10: 10, 20, 30 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120
The LCM is 120 because there is no lower number that is a multiple of all three numbers.

The given expression is equivalent to the expression - 11/6 n - 1/12. Then the correct option is C.
<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>
The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.
The sum of capacity minus three and one-third times n plus one-sixth ended capacity + capacity one and three-sixths times n minus three-twelfths end quantity.
Let n be the number. Then the expression will be
⇒ -(3 1/3)n + 1/6 + (1 3/6)n - 3/12
Simplify the equation, then we have
⇒ -(3 1/3)n + 1/6 + (1 3/6)n - 3/12
⇒ -10/3 n + 3/2 n + 1/6 - 1/4
⇒ -11/6 n - 1/12
The given expression is equivalent to the expression - 11/6 n - 1/12. Then the correct option is C.
