Answer:
here is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let AB and CD be two poles of heights a metres 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.
Let CL=x and LA=y. Then, x+y=p.
In △ABC and △LOC, we have
∠CAB=∠CLO [Each equal to 90 ∘ ]
∠C=∠C [Common]
∴ △CAB∼△CLO [By AA-criterion of similarity]
⇒ CL /CA = LO /AB
⇒ p /x =a/h
⇒ x= ph /a ...........(i)
In △ALO and △ACD, we have
∠ALO=∠ACD [Each equal to 90∘ ]
∠A=∠A [Common]
∴ △ALO∼△ACD [By AA-criterion of similarity]
⇒ AC /AL =DC/ OL
⇒ y/p=h/b
⇒ y= ph /b [∵ AC=x+y=p]........(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
x+y= ph/a+ph/b
⇒ p=ph( 1/a+1/b) [∵ x+y=p]
⇒ 1=h( a+b /ab)
h= a+b /ab metres
Hence, the height of the intersection of the lines joining the top of each pole to the foot of the opposite pole is
a+b /ab metres
