Two poles of heights 6 m and 11 m stand on a plane ground. If the distance between the feet of the poles is 12 m, find the distance between their tops. Q.12
Given, Two poles of heights 6 m and 11 m stand on a plane ground.
And distance between the feet of the poles is 12 m.
Let AB and CD be the poles of height 6m and 11m.
Therefore, CP = 11 – 6 = 5m
From the figure, it can be observed that AP = 12m
By Pythagoras theorem for ΔAPC, we get,
AC2 =AP2 + PC2
(12m)2 + (5m)2 = (AC)2
AC2 = (144+25) m= 169 m
AC = 13m
Therefore, the distance between their tops is 13 m.
