Thunderstorm
The height of the pole before the storm is 10 m. After a storm, when they check it, they see that the ground from the pole blows part of the column. The distance from the pole is 3 meters. At how high was the pole broken?
(In fact, the pole created a rectangular triangle. 10-x, 3, and hypotenuse how much is x).
Your answer:
