The room, with the pole, \"red%28AC%29\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and the pole's shadow, \"blue%28AB%29\" , would look like this:
\n" ); document.write( " \"blue%28s%29\"=length of AB, and \"red%28p%29\"=length of AB, both in meters.
\n" ); document.write( "On the floor of the room, \"blue%28s%29\" is the diagonal of a 10m×10m square
\n" ); document.write( "(or the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs measuring \"10m\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "so the Pythagorean theorem tells us that
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28blue%28s%29%29%5E2=10%5E2%2B10%5E2=200\" .
\n" ); document.write( "On an imaginary vertical plane, triangle \"ABC\" is a right triangle,
\n" ); document.write( "and its legs' length, in meters, are
\n" ); document.write( "\"blue%28s%29\" and \"5\" .
\n" ); document.write( "So the length, in meters, of hypotenuse \"AC\" is
\n" ); document.write( " .
\n" ); document.write( "That is the length of the longest pole that can be put into a room of dimensions 10m×10m×5m,
\n" ); document.write( "provided that the pole is pencil-thin or thinner.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If the pole is wider than pencil-thin its ends will not go all the way into corners \"A\" and \"C\" , =
\n" ); document.write( "so it would need to be a bit shorter,
\n" ); document.write( "but I do not think that you are expected to do real world calculations,
\n" ); document.write( "as an engineer would do,
\n" ); document.write( "so the expected answer to the second question is the volume of a pole/cylinder
\n" ); document.write( "that is \"15m\" long and \"0.7m=70cm\" in radius.
\n" ); document.write( "For a cylinder of radius \"R\" and height \"L\" , the volume is
\n" ); document.write( "\"Volume=pi%2AR%5E2%2AL\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "so for your problem, the volume of the pole in cubic meters is
\n" ); document.write( "\"Volume=pi%2A0.7%5E2%2A15=7.35pi\" .
\n" ); document.write( "That is about \"highlight%2823.09m%5E3%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
