Question

Two poles of heights 6 m and 11 m stand vertically on a plane ground. If the distance between their feet is 12 m, what is the distance between their tops?

विकल्प

• 13 m

• 14 m

• 15 m

• 12.8 m

Answer 1

13 m

Explanation;

Hint:

AC² = AE² + EC² .....(Distance between the two tops)

= 5² + 12²

= 25 + 144

= 169

AC = `sqrt(169)` = 13 cm
