The height of flagpole = 32 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :- A broken flagpole 7 m stick straight out of the ground and the distance between broken flagpole to the remaining part that touches the ground is 24 m
To find :- height of the flagpole
Solution :- Let the height of remaining part of flag pole be x
By pythagoras theorem
H² = P² + B²
(x)² = (7)² + (24)²
x² = 49 + 576
x² = 625
x = √625
x = 25
so, the height of remaining part of pole = 25 m
hence, the height of flagpole = 7 m + 25 m
= 32 m
