Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

1m and 2m

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Length of pole:- 3m

let the second piece be - 'x'm

let the first piece be - 'x/2'm

Now, according to the Question :-

x+(x/2) = 3

=> 3x/2= 3

=>x=2

First piece - 2m

therefore , 2nd piece => x/2 = 1m.
