fistly we will draw the figure i pole ab length=25 &ii pole cd length=20m
then on ii pole at its top we will draw a line perpendicular to i pole ce of length 12m
then we will join a & c so we get the triangle ace
now , applying Pythagoras theorem
ac square= ae square+ ec square
ac square= 25 +144
ac=√169
ac=13cm
