Question

If the heights of two poles stand on a ground are 6m and 11m . Find the distance
between their tops if distance between their feet is 12m.​

Answer 1

•Question:-

two poles of height 6m and 11m stand on a plane ground . if the distance between the feet of poles is 12m.find the distance between their tops. 

•Answer:-

given distance between tops of poles= 12m

the poles of heights 6m &11m ,difference lengths of poles= 5m

draw the line to longer pole form the top of shorter pole perdicularly and also join the tops of poles,clearly a right angled triangle is formed.

let the distance between their tops be xm

by pythagorus theorem x²=12²+5²=144+25=169

the value of x is 13

Therefore distance between their tops is 13m.
