उत्तर
The diagram of the given problem is given below,
We have Pythagoras theorem which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the remaining two sides.
Here, 11 - 6 = 5m ...( Since DC is perpendicular to BC )
base = 12 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
hypotenuse2 = 52 + 122
h2 = 25 + 144
h2 = 169
h = 13
Therefore, the distance between the tips will be 13m.
