This all has to do with the center of gravity, which in a uniform stick is located at the center of the stick. Therefore, if one pole is longer it only has to rotate a little before the center of gravity is no longer over your palm, therefore it falls with increasing velocity. If the pole is shorter, you have more time to react since the rotation of the pole does not displace the center of gravity the same amount,, therefore you can quickly compensate.

How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle when given only the three side lengths?

Make it a right triangle where one side of the right triangle is half the length of the non-identical side of the isosceles, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the length of one of the identical sides of the isosceles triangle, then use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. Where "a" is the length of one of the identical sides, and "c" is the length of half the non-identical sides. Solve for "b" and that is your height.
