Question

A pole 13 m high stands 12 m away from a building which is 18 m high. Find the
distance between the top of the pole and the top of the building.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

13 Meters is the distance between top of the pole and top of the building.

Explaination :-

Given :-

• Height of the pole : 13 m

• Distance of the pole from the building : 12 m

• Building's height : 18 m

To find :-

• The distance between top of the pole and top of the building.

Solution :-

• The solution could be found through Pythagorus Theorem.

• Refer the attachment

• The attachment has the distance between top of the pole and top of the building as ?

• The height will be 5m because

=> Building height - Pole height

=> 18 - 13

=> 5m

• The base is 12m because it's the distance.

• The distance between top of the pole and top of the building =

Base = 12m

Height = 5m

Hypotenuse = x

=>(Hypotenuse )² = ( Base ) ²+( Height )²

The distance between top of the pole and top of the building is 13 m
