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
Answer:
a=6,-10
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1 ==> y = -4x + 2
Equation 2 ==> y = x - 3
Substitude equation 2 into 1
x - 3 = -4x + 2
-5 = -5x
x = 1
Substitude x into equation 2
y = 1 - 3
y = -2
Coordinates is (1, -2)
Answer is D.
Answer:
y=-2x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope=-2
Y intercept= 8
