the answer is 13m.
first draw a diagram of two poles 6m and 11m. join their tops. draw a line in the figure such that it gets divided into a right angled triangle and a rectangle. the line joining the tops becomes the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle. then by applying the pythagorous theorem. the distance between their tops comes out to be 13m
