Question

1.
Two poles of heights 6 metres and Il metres stand vertically on a plane ground. If
the distance between their feet is 12 metres, find the distance between their tops.​

Answer 1

Answer:

13 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

the question asks for the direct distance between the tops.

for this we will use pythagoras theorem,

the difference in height of both the poles is 5 meters

the distance at feet is 12 meters

so the distance between the tops is given by

d=sq.root(12²+5²)

d=sq.root(169)

d=13 meters

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two Poles is 12

The difference between two Poles is 5

therefore the angle is made

there angle is 90

therefore

(hypo)^2=(side 1)^2+(side 2)^2

=(12)^2+(5)^2

=144+25

=169

=13
