Answer:
7m
Step-by-step explanation:
It forms a triangle as the upper part of the pole broke and fell down forming the hypotenuse.
49 - 24 = 25m => hypotenuse
24m => perpendicular (As pole of length 24m is left out.)
According to the Pythagoras theorem,
a²+b²=c²
24² + x² = 25²
576 + x² = 625
x² = 625 - 576
x² = 49
x = 7m
Therefore, the distance the pole touches to the ground from the foot of the pole is 7m.
This is your answer.
Hope it helps!
