Connor Bramham explains the solution of a well-known problem found in calculus texts. A ninety-degree angle is formed by the intersection of two hallways. Carry the pole down a 9ft wide hallway and turn 90 degrees into a 6ft wide hallway. What is the longest pole that makes the corner while keeping the pole in the horizontal plane.
The problem can be solved by calculating all poles in either Excel or Matlab, or can be solved using calculus.
