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
Try plugging them in, might seem tedious, but it's the best way to practice. if you plug in a pair and the left side of the equation is less than or equal to 6, it's the right answer.

<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>Firstly, the slope is found by rearranging the formula:</h3>
3y = 4x + 39
y = 
+ 
When x is 0, y = 0(x) + , so the y intercept is
<h3>Next, the slope is simply the number in front of the x, </h3>
So can be rearranged to 
, so the slope would be 
.
