Answer;
19ft
Explanation:
First, we need to get the length of the broken leg using the Pythagoras theorem as shown;
[tex]\begin{gathered} l^2=7^2+10^2 \\ l^2=49+100 \\ l^2=149 \\ l\text{ =}\sqrt[\square]{149} \\ l\text{ = 1}2.21 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Original height of the pole = 7ft + 12.21ft
Original height of the pole = 19.21ft
Original height of the pole = 19ft (to the nearest height)
