उत्तर
Let AB and CD be the two poles of height 14m and 9m respectively.
It is given that BD = 12m
∴ CE = 12m
Now,
AE = AB - BE
= 14m - 9m = 5m
Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔACE,
AC2 = AE2 + CE2
= (5m)2 + (12m)2
= 25m2 = 144m2
= 169m2
= 13m2
⇒ AC = 13m
Thus, the distance between the tops of the poles is 13m.
