Question

Total length of a pole is 21.3 m. If 0.2m of the length of the pole is inside the ground. Find how much of its length is outside the ground

Answer 1

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...
