A flagpole broke in a storm. It was originally 8 1 8181 feet tall. 2 8 2828 feet are still sticking straight out of the ground, where it snapped, but the remaining piece has hinged over and touches the ground some distance away. How far away is the end of the pole from the base of the pole along the ground?
