Answer:
Distance between two poles = 15 cm
Greater distance of the longer pole from the shorter pole = 36 - 28 = 8cm
Considering the top of two poles as a triangle ,
Perpendicular of triangle = 8cm
Base of triangle = 15cm
To find the hypotenuse ( height between their top ) ,
Accordingto pythagorus theorem,
P square + B square = H square
(8×8) + (15×15) = H square
64 + 225 = H square
289 = H square
17 square = H square
H = 17 cm
ANS. AS HYPOTENUSE (H) = DISTANCE BETWEEN THEIR TOPS ,
DISTANCE BETWEEN THEIR TOP IS 17CM
