Question

two poles of height 6m and 11m stand on a plane ground.if the distance between their feet is 12m,find the distance between their tops​

Answer 1

Answer:

17m

Step-by-step explanation: they are already 12m apart in length but 5m apart in height so it is 17m

Answer 2

Answer:

13 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple pythagoras theorem. Let's take the side A to B as 6 metres and C to  D as 11 metres. Cut a line from 6 metres to straight at line CD to make a rectangle. Then write the point as E. A triangle will be made. So then the distance from A to E will be 12 metres as it is vertically opposite from their feet. And line DE is 5 metres because line AB (which is 6 metres) is directly opposite to line CE which makes line CE 6 metres and the remaining goes to the triangle. Then

Line DE square + Line AE square = Line AD square

=> 5 square + 12 square = Answer

=> 25 + 144 = 169 = 13 square
