An 18-foot pole is broken during a storm.

The top of the pole touches the ground 12 feet from the base
of the pole. How tall is the part of the pole left standing

let the erect part of the pole be x

the slanted part of the pole will be 18-x

the ground distance = 12

they form a right triangle

apply Pythagoras theorem

12^2+x^2=(18-x)^2

144+x^2=324-36x+x^2

36x=324-144

36x=180

x=180/36

x=5 feet
