Use the information in the figure to determine the height of the pole.
2 answers:
(x + 5)^2 + (x/2 + 6)^2 = (30)^2
Take it from here.
Answer:
pole height = 29 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
x² = 30² - (1/2x + 6)² = 30² - (1/4x² + 6x + 36) = 900 - 1/4x² - 6x - 36
combine like terms:
x² = -1/4x² - 6x + 864
1 1/4x² + 6x - 864 = 0
divide both sides of the equation by 1 1/4:
x² + 4.8x - 691.2 = 0
(x - 24)(x + 28.8) = 0
x = 24 ft
pole height = 24 + 5 = 29 ft
