Two vertical poles have heights of 6 meters and 11 meters vertically on a plane ground. If the distance between their feet is 12 m, the distance between their tops is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Difference in height = 11 − 6
= 5 meters
Distance between the tops = √(12² + 5²)
= √(144 + 25)
= √169
= 13 meters
