A spotlight is 5 feet from one wall of a room and 10 feet from the other wall at right angles to it. How many feet is it from the intersection of the two walls?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Let the walls be the x and y axis of a coordinate system.
\n" ); document.write( "Plot a point at (5,10)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Find the distance of the point from the origin.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "d^2 = 5^2 + 10^2
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt(125)
\n" ); document.write( "d = 5*sqrt(5)
\n" ); document.write( "d = 11.18
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
