Okay, so we have a little flagpole and we don't know how high it is.
00:07
So i named it x and we know that the two guy wires on opposite sides of it is five feet longer than the pole.
00:18
So i named it x plus five right here.
00:22
And we also know that the distance between the two points is x plus five.
00:28
Now if you take a look at this triangle, it's actually a right point.
00:33
Triangle and so we can just ignore this left side and just only focus on the right side.
00:41
Now if this whole thing is x plus 5, then it would make sense for only half of it to be x plus 5 divided by 2.
00:52
So i drew the triangle again here just to show that this is a right triangle we have x here, we have x plus 5 here, and we have x plus 5 divided by 2, and i named them a, b, and c as well...
