The tops of two poles of height 16 m and 10 m are connected by a wire of length l metres. If the wire makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal, then l =


Let AE be the wire to connect the two poles ED and AC of height 10m and 16m forming angle of 30° with horizontal


In Δ AEB


Sin 30° =


=


AE = 12 m
