Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

One side height of window= AC=16m

Other side height of window=XY=12m

Length of ladder= 20m

To find:

The width of the street.

Solution:

In ∆XCY,

∠C= 90°

=) ∆XCY is a right angle ∆

So, Using Pythagoras theorem:

Therefore, CY= 16m

Similarly,

In ∆ABC,

So, BC= 12m

Therefore, the width of the street,

=) BY= BC+ CY

=) BY= 12+ 16

=) BY= 28m

Hope it helps ☺️
