Answers:
Answer #1Note that it is a kind of trick question: the pillars stand next to each other. Which means that the cable goes 8 meters straight down and 8 meters straight up. Conclusion: The distance between the pillars is zero meters..
Answer #2If the lowest point of the cable is 7 metre above the ground which means 8 metre from the top of the poll and thus the distance between them is zero as it is 8 metre down from each pole and thus it reaches its length which is 16 metres.8+8=16 which means cable is not left
