The tops of two poles of height 20 m and 14 m are connected by awire. If the wire makes an angle of 30° with horizontal, the length ofthe wire is​

Answer»

Answer:

Given that : Heights of two POLES are 20 and 14m respectively.

Angle wire makes with horizontal =30

∘

Let distance between two poles be x and LENGTH of wire be y
