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

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - 7 = -4

4 - 6 = -2

3 + -6 = -3

The correct answer is 2.5 cm

Explanation:

In any polygon, the area refers to the total space occupied by the polygon. In the case of triangles, the area can be calculated by multiplying the base and height and then dividing the by 2. This means b x h / 2 = area of a triangle. According to this, the area of the triangle presented is 15

5 cm (base) x  6 cm (height) = 30 cm

30 cm / 2 =  15 cm (total area)

This also means the area of the rectangle is 15 considering both figures have the same area. Additionally, the area in rectangles is calculated by multiplying the length base by the width. This implies in the case presented 6 cm x w cm = 15 cm (total area), and you can determine the value of w by using a simple equation as

6 x w = 15

w = 15 / 6

w =  2.5

Also, you can know this is the correct value because 6 cm (length) x 2.5 (width) = 15 cm which is the correct area
