Answer:
Height of the pole = 9.17 chi.
Length of the rope = 12.17 chi.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the rope is hanging from the top of a pole having height x chi and the portion of the rope lying on the ground is 3 chi.
So, the length of the rope= x + 3 chi.
Let AB represents the pole in the figure, and one end of the rope is at point A.
When the rope is tightly stretched, let C be the other end of the rope as shown in the triangle.
The length of the rope = AC.
\Rightarrow AC=x+3 chi.
Distance from the bottom of the pole, point A, to the other end of the pole, point B, is 8 chi.
So, BC=8 chi.
As the triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle, so by using Pythagoras theorem,
chi.
Hence, the height of the pole, chi,
and the length of the rope, chi.
An integer is close to zero if it is "small".
By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance , there are two integers that are
units away from zero:
and
.
So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.
So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.
