ANSWER:Solution 56E Step 1: (a)Consider a pole carried horizontally around a corner at which a 3-ft corridor and a 4-ft corridor meet at right angles. Consider the length of th e pole is l. So, at the corridor they meet at right angle. Consider the length is formed with one corridor is x and another corridor is y. So, you get
