Question

two poles of height 6m and 11m stands on a plane ground if the distance between the feet of the poles is 12 then find the distance between their tops

Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{Answer}}}$

• Two poles of height 6m and 11m.
• Distance between the feet of the poles is 12
• Then , We have to find : The distance between their tops.

DC and EB = 6m

CB and DE = 12m

AE = AB - EB

AE = 11 - 6

AE = 5m.

Now, by applying pythagoras theorem in triangle ADE we get :-

AD² = AE² + DE²

AD² = 5² + 12²

AD² = 25 + 144

AD² = 169

AD = 13m

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{Hence,\:the\:distance\:between\:their\: tops\:be\:13m}}}$
