A pole next to a building 2001-02-20
From Robert L. Haun:
A pole 100 feet tall is erected next to a building 10' X 10' X 10' . Object is to cut off the pole so the upper end remains touching the part cut off, while the cut-off portion touches the cutoff point, the edge of the building and the ground. Note assume the pole is touching the building and is "very thin" What is/are the cutoff points?
