You have a 6-foot long chain that is suspended at its ends, tacked to a wall. The tacks are parallel to the floor. Due to gravity, the middle part of the chain hangs down below the ends, forming a U-type shape; the height of this U is 3 feet from top to bottom. Find the distance in between the tacks.

You can find the answer here.
