We had some fun with this in an Applied Algebra class last week. Most of the students got the Pythagorean Theorem application here, but not a lot of them gave poor Tom the shorter length rope he might need so that he doesn't smack into the side of the building.
In an advanced class we used this for a warmup just for fun and the students went on to find some applications from Trig stuff.
Enjoy!
