Answer:

21.1 m

Step by step explanation

Total length of pole = 21.3 m

Length of pole inside the ground = 0.2 m

Let length of pole outside the ground be X,

So, according to the Question,


x + 0.2 = 21.3

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign


x = 21.3 - 0.2

Calculate the difference


x = 21.1 \: m

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
