Question

Проволока длиной 5м протянута между вертикально стоящими столбами. Высота одного столба 8м, а другого 4м. Найти расстояние между столами.

Answer 1

L = √(5^2 - (8-4)^2) = √(25 - 16) = √9 = 3м

Answer 2

Calculation of the Distance Between the Poles

To find the distance between the two poles, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, we can consider the wire as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with one side being the height of the taller pole (8m) and the other side being the height of the shorter pole (4m). Let's denote the distance between the poles as d.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the equation:

d^2 = (8m)^2 + (4m)^2

Simplifying the equation:

d^2 = 64m^2 + 16m^2

d^2 = 80m^2

Taking the square root of both sides:

d = √(80m^2)

Calculating the square root:

d ≈ 8.94m

Therefore, the distance between the two poles is approximately 8.94 meters.
