Answer 2

Insect is 1.75 m away from the foot of the lamp post

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say after moving m meter Distance of insect from top of lamp post = m  meter

Distance of insect from foot of lamp post = 8 - m  m

Height of Lamp post  =  6 m

Distance of insect from top of lamp post = m  m

Applying Pythagorean theorem

m² = 6² + (8 - m)²

=> m² = 36 + 64 + m² - 16m

=> 16 m = 100

=> m = 6.25 m

Insect Distance from foot of lamp = 8 - 6.25  = 1.75 m
