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 ☺️
