Two poles 13m and 18m high stand upright on a playground if their feet are 12m apart find the distance between their tops

make your sketch
draw a horizontal line from the top of the shorter pole to the other pole.
You now have a right-angled triangle with base 12 m, height 18-13 or 5 m

You should recognize the common 5,12, 13 right-angled triangle, if not

c^2 = 12^2 + 5^2 = 169
c =√169 = 13
13m
