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.
Answer:
x = 120 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
50 + 70 = 120
4 x 2/4
2/4 can be reduced to 1/2
Now you have 4 x 1/2
Multiply 4 by 1 then divide by 2:
4 x 1 = 4
4/2 = 2
The answer is 2
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean, or average of a data set, add all the values together, then divide by the number of values.
The data set is: 6,7,9,9,9
1. Add all the values
Add 6,7,9,9 and 9
6+7+9+9+9
40
2. Divide by the number of values
Count how many numbers are in the data set. In this case, there are 5 numbers.
Divide 40 by 5.
40/5
8
The mean of the data set is 8.
2x = 8 ... therefore x = 4
4^2 = 16
