Question

Two poles of heights 3m and 18m are standing on a plane ground. If the distance between the feet or
the poles is 36m, find the distance between their tops.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

39m

Step-by-step explanation:

~Subtract both heights

18 - 3

~Use the pythagorean theorem to solve the distance betweeon both tops

c² = 15² + 36²

c² = 225 + 1296

c² = 1521

c = 39

Best of Luck!
