Question

The distance between the two pillars of height 6m and 11m is 12m. Find distance between their

Answer 1

the distance between their top of the poles is 13 m use Pythagoras formula

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between their tops is 13 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the distance between the two pillars of height 6m and 11m is 12m.

Use Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABE.

$(AE)^2=(AB)^2+(BE)^2$

$(AE)^2=(5)^2+(12)^2$

$(AE)^2=25+144$

$(AE)^2=169$

Taking square root both the sides.

$AE=13$

Therefore the distance between their tops is 13 m.
