AB and DC are two vertical poles placed opposite to each other at a distance of 36 m from each - Maths - The Triangle and its Properties

Question

AB and DC are two vertical poles placed opposite to each other at a
distance of 36 m from each other such that the points
B and D are at ground level If the length of AB is 30
m and the length of CD is 15 m, find AC (Hint: Draw CE ⊥ AB
and join AC )

Dorothy Mehta · Answer

in triangle AEC
angle E=90 degrees
AE=15m
EC=36m
​AC= as per pithgoras theorum
15^2+36^2=AC^
225+1296=1521
=39^2
AC^2 =39^2
AC=39 "^" is power of the no
