Question

Two poles of height 16 m and 10 m stand on a plane ground. If the distance between their feet is 8 m, find the distance between their tops.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Two poles of height 6m and 11m stands on a plane ground, where distance between their feet is 12m, so the distance between the top of the two poles is 13 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

distance between their feet = 8m.

=> shortest distance between head of shortest pole & eye level of longer pole = 8m.

the remaining height of longer pole = 16-10 = 6m.

therefore , distance between their heads (ends) = √(6²+8²)

= √10²

= 10m.
