Take a look at the picture below [the picture is not to scale].
What you are looking at is a picture of 2 black poles sitting in the green ground. The black poles stick out of the ground 4 meters.
There is a brown rope strung between the poles, and it is 2 meters long.
The brown rope hangs down 1 meter.
Question: What is the distance between the poles?
