Answer:
hiii
your answer is here !
Step-by-step explanation:
=> given distance between tops of poles= 12m
=> the poles of heights 6m &11m ,
=> difference lengths of poles= 5m
=> draw the line to longer pole form the top of shorter pole perdicularly and also join the tops of poles,clearly a right angled triangle is formed.
=> let the distance between their tops be xm
by pythagorus theorem
=> x²=12²+5²=144+25=169
=>the value of x is 13,therefore distance between their tops is 13m
