Question

. Two poles 8 m high and 13 m high are placed
opposite to each other across a 12 m long road. Find
the distance between their tops.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

draw a perpendicular DE to CB

such that AD=BE = 8cm

from question BC is 13cm

so EC=13-8=5cm

so in right triangle DEC

by applying pythogrous therom

DC=√(12²+5²)

=√169

=13cm
