Question

two vertcal poles are at a distance of 6.28 m from each other.what should be the maximum diatance
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let CD and AB be the poles of height 11 m and 6 m.

Therefore, CP = 11 − 6 = 5 m

From the figure, it can be observed that AP = 12m

Applying Pythagoras theorem for ΔAPC, we obtain

Therefore, the distance between their tops is 13 m.
