Answer:
The end of the flagpole is 50.79 ft away from the base of the pole.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is represented by the diagram below.
The broken flagpole forms the shape of a right angled triangle. We need to find one of the sides of the triangle, the adjacent (x).
The hypotenuse is the broken part of the flagpole (53 ft), while the opposite is the part of the flagpole that is still stuck to the ground (28 ft).
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have that:
=> 
The end of the flagpole is 50.79 ft away from the base of the pole.
5/8 cross multiply on the top then multiply the denominator you get 20/32 reduce that it's 5/8
Well assuming that this would be a typical triangle, and not a right angle one, knowing that the sum of all sides adds up to 180 degrees, simply add all of the expressions and one value and make it equal to 180, and then solve for x.
(6x-1) + (X+14) + 20 = 180
6x - 1 + X + 14 = 160
7x - 1 + 14 = 160
7x + 13 = 160
7x = 147
X = 21.
Now solve for the angles by plugging in X.
A = 6x - 1 = 6(21) - 1 = 125 degrees
C = X + 14 = (21) + 14 = 35 degrees.
I believe these are the solutions.
