From one point to this straight line, two equal inclined ones are drawn.

From one point to this straight line, two equal inclined ones are drawn. Find the distance between the inclined bases if the projection of one of them is 16 cm.

The distance between the bases of the inclined ones is the AC segment.

AC = AO + OC.

If two oblique lines drawn to a straight line from one point are equal, then their projections are also equal. So OC = AO = 16 cm.

AC = 16 + 16 = 32 cm.

Answer: the distance between the bases of the inclined 32 cm.
