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
Answer:
it depends how much one would cost
Step-by-step explanation:
and when u know how much one costs u can multiply it by 24 :)
Answer:
18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The centroid is located 1/3 the distance from the midpoint of a side to the opposite vertex. That means ...
CG = 2·DG = 6 + DG
Then
DG = 6 . . . . . . subtract DG from the above equation
Of course, ...
CD = CG +DG = 2·6 +6
CD = 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation given
tan(3B-32 ) = cot ( 5B +10 ) = tan [ 90 - ( 5B + 10 ) ]
tan(3B-32 ) = tan (90 - 5B - 10 )
(3B-32 ) = (90 - 5B - 10 )
8B = 32 + 80
B = 14° .
The answer is 2/6 in the fourth decimal place
