Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

first piece 1m and second 2m

Step-by-step explanation:

let the second piece be X

Therefore,

first = 1/2 of second

= 1/2*X

we know

first piece + second piece = total length

1/2*x + x = 3

3x/2 =3

3x= 6

x=2

second piece = x = 2

first piece = 1/2*x

= 2/2

= 1

so ans is

first piece 1m and second piece 2m
