Answer:
x ≈ 14.87
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² = 10² + 11² = 100 + 121 = 221 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ≈ 14.87 ( to the nearest hundredth )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = length of flagpole = 12 ft
AB = length of shadow = 14 ft
BC = length from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow = x ft
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x,
x² = AC² + BC²
= 12² + 14²
= 144 + 196
= 340
x = √340
x = 18.4 ft
