Question

Can someone help me :(

A telephone pole breaks and falls as shown. To the nearest foot, what was the original height of the pole.

Answer 1

20 ft :3 ok byeee3eeeeeeeeeeeeewwww

Answer 2

19 ft.

Explanation:

Pytahgorean theorm. A^2 + B ^2 = C^2

49 + 100 = 149

Square root the 149, which is ~12

That means the hypotenuse is twelve feet, and with the base of the pole being seven, the pole was originally 19 feet tall.
