Maximum Length of Pole in Hallway
The maximum length of a pole
c
is the shortest line segment touching the interior corner
and opposite sides of the two hallways as shown in the diagram below.
Use proportional sides and the Pythagorean theorem to find the length
c
with respect to
w
. Then find the zeros of the first derivative of
c(w)
. The minimum value of
c(w)
is the
maximum length of the pole.
