The height of the flagpole is: 12 ft.
Let the height of the flagpole be: x ft.
Now, we can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle such that the hypotenuse of the triangle is: 20 feet
and one of the leg of the right triangle is: 16 feet
Now, in order to find the other leg i.e. x we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.
i.e.
But the height can't be negative.
Hence, we get:
Answer:
x=<u>+</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic function =( -b<u>+</u> )/2a
x^2+x+2-y=0
x=-1<u>+</u> /2
Pretty sure this is right. Would appreciate a brainliest

cause you just take away the decimals and its alreasy a whole number
