Hey mate your answer
Assuming a horizontal ground.
Let A and B be the points on the top of poles a and b, respectively. Let C and D be the points on the bases of the poles.
Draw a line segment from the point of intersection (call it H) perpendicular to the ground. Call the point of intersection of the line segment and the ground P.
Then AC = a, BD = b and CD = p. Let HP = h (height of the point of intersection), CP = x and PD = p - x (because CP + PD = CD = p).
Notice that triangles ACD and HPD are similar. Then
AC / CD = HP / PD or a / p = h / (p-x)
Triangles BDC and HPC are also similar. Then
BD / DC = HP / PC or b / p = h / x
Then
p - x = hp / a
x = hp / b
Adding the equations,
p = hp / a + hp / b
Dividing both sides by p,
1 = h / a + h / b
1 = h[(a + b) / ab]
Solving for h,
h = ab / (a + b)
Hope it helps to you!!!!!
Let AB and CD be two poles of height a and b metres respectively such that the poles are p metres apart i.e. AC= p metres. Suppose the lines AD and BC meet at O such that OL =h metres.
pls mark as brainliest and follow me
Hence, the height of the intersection of the lines joining the top of each pole to the foot of the opposite pole is ab/(a+b) metres.
