Answer:
13m
Step-by-step explanation:
hight of poles 9m and 14m respectively.
The distance between them at the ground is 12m.
The effective distance between their tops according to Pythagorean theorem
effective height = 14-9=5m
base=12m (will remain at every height as poles are standing upright parallely)
Hypotenuse^2= b^2+h^2
Hypo^2= 12^2+5^2
Hypo^2= 144+25
Hypo^2=169
Hypo=√169
Hypo=13m
