During a storm, a man supported his hut by three wires of equal length. The wires are staked to the ground at different points R,S,T which are of the same distance from the base of the hut. Explain and illustrate how can you prove that the angles the wires make with the ground are all congruent. Use proving with statements and reasons.
@mathslover pls help
Well Sire, if Thou desire a properly argumented solution to this conundrum, then I can assure Thou that You will need, either explicitly or Implicitly, the 3- perpendeculars theorem which will enable you to compare angles between the plane and intersecting lines. It is basic stereometry, yet laborious to fully argument none the less. You prove that it is an equi-edged Pyramid
pls illusrate
