Question

A pole of 72 m is bent at a height of 35 m . At what distance from the foot does the tip of pole touches the ground?

please give me answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

12m

Step-by-step explanation:

hight of pole=72m

hight after bent=35m

bent length= 72-35=37m

by Pythagoras theorem

(bent length)^2=(hight after bent) ^2 +(distance of pole touches ground)^2

(37)^2=(35)^2+(distance of pole touches ground)^2

1369-1225=(distance of pole touches ground)^2

(distance of pole touches ground)^2=144  

(distance of pole touches ground)=√144  

(distance of pole touches ground)= 12m
