Height of two poles are 27 and 17. Distance between their tips is 24.
The difference between their heights = 27-17 = 10 m
Consider it as a right angle triangle, with distance between their tips being the hypotenuse, difference in heights being the perpendicular and the distance between their foot being the base.
Thus,
(27)^2=(10)^2+(BC)^2
729=100+(BC)^2
729-100=(BC)^2
629=(BC)^2
√629=BC
26=BC
The distance between the tips of the poles is 26M
