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
ANSWER: -252
HOW TO GET IT:
Simply follow PEMDAS. Solve each exponent first, then do the rest.
Given:
The set of all positive integers from 10 to 15.
To find:
The given set by using the descriptive method.
Solution:
The positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4,... .
The positive integers from 10 to 15 are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
So, the given set has 5 elements 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Using the descriptive method, the given set is defined as "The set of all positive integers greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 15".
Therefore, the set of all positive integers greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 15.
