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.
Let time be x distance be y
- 140x=y-(1)
- 290x=360-y-(2)
Put value in eq(2)
Put it in eq(1)
- d=1.2(140)=168m
