Question

Two poles having heights 7m and 13m respectively, are placed on the same level 8m apart from each other. What is the distance between their tops​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Bonjour\:Mate}$

CD=EB=7m

EA=AB-BE=12m -7m= 5m

Also BC=DE= 12m

Now,using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ADE.

AD²=AE²+ DE²

= 5² + 12²

= 25 +144

=169

AD=√169

Distance between top of the poles is 13m .
