Question

Two poles of heights 6 m and 11 m stand on a plane ground. If the distance between their

feet is 12 m, find the distance between their tops.

PLEASE GIVE THE ANSWER​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

Two poles AB=11 m and CD=6m

Distance between both poles BD=12 m

Then, create a line segment CE parallel to line BD

So, AE=AB−CD=11−5=6 m

In right angled △AEC,

(AC)

${ ac}^{2} = {ae}^{2} + {ae}^{2} \\ {12}^{2} + {5}^{2} \\ = > 144 + 25 = 169 \\ = > {ac} = 13$

So, the distance between their tops is 13 m.
