Two poles of height 6 m and 11 m stand vertically upright on a plane ground. If the distance between their foot is 12 m, then the distance between their tops is

12 m

14 m

13 m

11 m

Correct Option: 3

As we can see from the diagram, we'll use pythagoras theorem to find the distance between their tops.

Distance

=\sqrt{5^2+12^2}=\sqrt{25+144}=\sqrt{169}=13
