Each section would be 230 centimeters or 2.30 meters long.
The original wood pole is 12 meters long.
12 meters = 12 x 100 = 1200 centimeters
It is to be cut into 5 equal sections: 1200/5 = 240 centimeters
But each cut wastes 10 cm of the pole.
240 - 10 = 230 centimeters.
Thus, each section would be 230 centimeters or 2.30 meters long.
