You are standing in front of a flagpole. The distance from your feet to the base of the
pole is 17 feet, and the height of the pole
is 9 feet. Determine the distance from
your feet to the top of the pole to the
nearest hundredth of a foot.

19.24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The line from your feet to the pole is one side of a triangle, 17 feet long. The pole itself is another side, 9 feet long, at a 90 ° angle to the ground. So these two sides are the legs (shorter two sides) of a right triangle. The line from your feet to the top of the pole is the third side of the triangle. It is also the side opposite the 90° angle between the ground and the pole, so it is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Since it is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem:

c² = a² + b², so

'c' is the distance from your feet to the pole, the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

c² = 17² + 9² = 289 + 81 = 370

c² = 370

c = SQR ROOT OF (370)

c ≈ 19.23538406...

So, rounding to hundredths, c is approx. 19.24 feet

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
