Question 140
With a thin stick of unknown length we want to determine the likewise unknown width and height of a door. If we lay the stick horizontally against the door, it is 2 cubits longer than the width of the door. If we stand the stick vertically, it is 1 cubit longer than the height of the door. The stick fits exactly into the door opening if we place it diagonally. Calculate the width and the height of the door and the length of the stick.
