Activity: A flagpole has cracked 1.7 m from the ground and fallen over, as if hinged. The top of the flagpole hit the ground 3 m from the base. How tall was the flagpole before it fell?

Height of flagpole before it fell = 5.15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of remain pole (p) = 1.7 m

Distance from base (b) = 3 m

Find:

Height of flagpole before it fell

Computation:

Using Pythagorean theorem

H = √ p² + b

Length of broken part = √ 1.7² + 3²

Length of broken part = √ 2.89 + 9

Length of broken part = √ 11.89

Length of broken part = 3.45 (Approx)

Height of flagpole before it fell = Length of broken part + Height of remain pole

Height of flagpole before it fell = 3.45 + 1.7

Height of flagpole before it fell = 5.15 m

i think is g(1)=-1.

hope that i can
