2poles of 6m and 11m stand on a plane ground . If the distance between their feet is12 find distance
Solution:
Height of one pole is 11 Mtrs and the height of other pole is 6 Mtrs.
So the difference in their height = 11 - 6 = 5 Mtrs.
Distance between the feet of poles = 12 Mtrs.
Distance between the tip of the poles = As per pythogoras theorom:
Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2.
Hypotenuse =√Base2+ Perpendicular2
Hypotenuse =√(12)2 + (5)2
Hypotenuse = √144 + 25 =√169 = 13 Mtrs.
Ans: 13 Mtrs.
