The tops of two poles of height of 20 m and 14 m are connected by a wire. If the wire makes an angle of 30° with horizontal, then the length of the wire is
Here ED = 14m and AC = 20 m are two poles
⇒ AB = 20 – 14 = 6 m
Wire AE connects them making angle with horizontal of 30°
We have to find AE which is length of wire
Sin 30° = 
= 
AE = 12 m
