Green line = Ground
Ye a all il 53%
Small black line = pole of 10 m
Long black line = pole of 34 m = AB = Difference between poles =
distance between their feet = 7 m
Solution :
By Pythagoras Theorem,
(Length of long pole - Length of small pole )^2 + ( distance between the poles )^2 = ( distance between their
tops )^2
( 34 - 10 )^2 + ( AB )^2 = ( AC )^2
→ ( 24 )^2 + (7 )^2 = ( AC )^2
+ 576 + 49 = ( AC)^2
625 = ( AC)^2
25 = AC
