Question

Two poles of height 12m and 22 m stand on a plane ground. If the distance between their

tops is 26 m, the distance between their feet is

A ) 12metres

B ) 22metres

C ) 24metres

D ) 26metres

Answer 1

Answer:

lGiven: Two poles AB=11 m and CD=6m

Distance between both poles BD=12 m

Then, create a line segment CE parallel to line BD

So, AE=AB−CD=11−5=6 m

In right angled △AEC,

=144+25=169

⇒AC=13 m

So, the distance between their tops is 13 m.
