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

<h3>Answer = -5</h3>

<h3>Known</h3>
g(x) = -2x - 11

<h3>Question</h3>
g(-3) = ..?
════════════════════
<h3>Way to do</h3>
#since x inside (x) change into (-3) then it means that you only need to change x into -3
g(-3) = -2(-3) - 11
g(-3) = 6 - 11
g(-3) = -5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
during the day, it was -3.....at night it dropped 19 degrees...
so at night it is : (-3 - 19) = - 22 degrees Fahrenheit
