Question

A pole has a height of 3 meters is struck by a car and breaks into two pieces such that the first piece is 1 upon 2 of the second. Find the length of both pieces
​

Answer 1

Answer:The 2 pieces are of 1 m and 2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of 1st piece be x.

2nd piece=2*x

3m=x+2x

3m=3x

1m=x

Answer 2

Answer:

The length of the first piece is 1m and the length of the second is 2m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the first piece is = x

And the length of the second piece is = x/2

Sum of two poles = x+x/2

And the height = 3m

Sum of the two poles = Height of the pole

x+x/2 = 3

2x+x/2 = 3

3x /2 = 3

3x = 3 × 2

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

Then the length of the first piece of pole and second piece of pole. is

x/2 = 2 x = 2

x = 1

The length of the first piece = 1m

The length of the second piece = 2m.
