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).

Final Answer:

x =  4.55 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} c^2=x^2+3^2 \\ x+c=10 \\ (10-x{)}^2=x^2+3^2 \\ 20x=91 \\ x=91/20=4.55=4.55\text{m} \end{gathered}$$

(10-x)^2=x^2+3^2

20x = 91


x = 91/20 = 4.55

x = 91/20 = 4.55
