the ceiling in jan's living room is 2.5 m high. she has a hanging lamp that hangs down 41 cm. her husbnd is 2 m tall. will he hit his head on the hanging lamp?

Respuesta :

Hi! So It is impossible to say without knowing how long the lamp cord is. It also depends on what furniture is under the lamp: if there is a large coffee table directly under the lamp, for example, the husband is not going to be standing under the lamp!

Answer:

No, his head will not hit the lamp.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of ceiling in Jan's living room = 2.5 m

Height of the hanging lamp from the ceiling = 41 cm

                                                                         ≈ 0.41 meter

So distance between lamp and the ground = 2.5 - 0.41

                                                                        = 2.09 meter

If a person having height greater than 2.09 meter, will touch the lower edge of the lamp.

Since Jan's husband is 2(meter), tall lamp will not touch his head.
