Hi.. I would like to know if you are familiair with the next problem:
2 poles are set up in an alley. one pole is 5 metres, the other 4
like this:
] [ ] [ ] /[ ]\ / [ ] \ / [ ] / [ ] / \ [ ] / \ [ ]/_____\[
the hight at witch they cross each other is 3 metres..
Q: what is the width of the alley??
This has been puzzling me for 3 months now, and I'm starting to get very desperate.. (sick of it actually..) Nobody seems to know the answer (not numerical obtained) Could you help me with this??
