Two towers height is 28m and 36m built at a distance of 15m fine the distance between the top of the towers

Open in App

Solution

Let the distance between height of the towersisz
THE height diffeence of towers is 36-28=8m.(x)
the distance between two towers is 15m.(y)
by pythogaras theorem
x²+y²=z²
8²+15²=z²
64+225=z²
289=z²
17=z
the distance between towers is 17m
