Question

Two poles of 8m and 14m stand upright on a plane ground. If the distance between
two tops is 10m. Find the distance between their feet.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Two poles A and B of height 9m and 14m, distance between the two poles is 12m,

one side, poles, 14−9=5m

one side, poles gives=12m

∴h²=5² +12²

h² =25+144

h ² =169

h² =13²

h=13

Hence, this is answer

Answer 2

Answer:

10 m can be the hypotenuse. 14-8= 6m, which can be the base.  Distance between their feet = x = $hx^{2} = base^{2} + perpendicular ^{2} \\Therefore, 10^{2} = 6^{2} + x^{2} \\100 = 34 + x^{2} \\100-34 = x^{2} \\64 = x^{2} \\\sqrt{64} = x\\8m = x\\Therefore distance between their feet is 8 m.$
