two poles 25m and 20m stand upright in a field. the distance between two poles is 12m. find the dintance between their tops.

4 answers

The distance is the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2

Solve for c
what is the distance between poles 10-20 if it is 300 feet between 1-5?
13
