A pole of height 50 units has broken into two pieces, and the top of the pole is now at a point that is 25 units from the base of the pole. Find the difference between the lengths of the two pieces.
The pole was 50 feet high. The pole is now 25 feet high.
That means the piece broken off is 50 – 25 = 25 feet long.
The two pieces are the same length. The difference is zero.
