Question

two vertical poles are 24 metre apart if the height of the poles p 17m and 27 and the distance between the tips of the poles is​

Answer 1

Answer:

26 m is the correct answer

Answer 2

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
