There are two buildings A & B
The height of A & B is 36cm & 28cm respectively
The distance between bottom of both building is 15cm
with the given data , calculate the distance between the top of both buildings
With necessary calculations and Diagram
Answers
draw the diagram neetly
hope this is helpful
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the distance between the tops of buildings A and B, we can use the concept of similar triangles.
First, let's draw a diagram to visualize the situation:
```
A
|
|
______|_____ 15cm
|
|
B
```
In the diagram, A represents the taller building with a height of 36cm, and B represents the shorter building with a height of 28cm. The distance between the bottoms of both buildings is 15cm.
Now, let's assume that the distance between the tops of the buildings is 'x' cm.
We can set up the following proportion based on the similarity of the triangles formed by the buildings:
Height of A / Distance between A and B = Height of B / Distance between tops of A and B
Using the given values, we have:
36cm / 15cm = 28cm / x
To find the value of 'x', we can cross-multiply and solve for 'x':
36cm * x = 15cm * 28cm
x = (15cm * 28cm) / 36cm
x ≈ 11.67cm
Therefore, the distance between the tops of buildings A and B is approximately 11.67cm.
