Question

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.

Answer 1

Given : first pole height = CD = $6m$

second pole height = AB = $11m$

distance between bottom of poles = CA = $12m$

Find =tops of poles......i.e...DB

solution:-

drew line DE .Since CA is perpendicular on AB . i.e.$DE\perp AB$

So, DE=CA=$12m$

samehere , CD = EA = $6m$
