You can put this solution on YOUR website! from the top of a flagpole 48 ft in height, two 60-ft ropes reach two points on the ground, each of witch is 36 ft from the pole. If the ground is level, is the pole perpendicular to the ground?
----------
No, it's normal to the ground (assuming the ground is a plane).
Normal is the 3-space version of perpendicular.
