Question

Two poles of height 25m and 20m stand upright in a filed. the distance between the poles is 12m. find the distance between their tops

Answer 1

$<b><i>$There are two poles of height 25 m and 20 m

The distance between them is 12 m

Let's find the difference in their height

=>(25 - 20)m = 5m

According to Pythagoras' theorem

H² = P² + B²

H² = 5² + 12²

H² = 25 + 144

H² = 169

H = √169

H = 13 m

The distance between their tops is 13 m.

Thanks

Have a colossal day ahead
