Two vertical posts stand side by side. One post is 8 feet tall and the other is 17 feet tall. Is a 24 foot wire is stretched between the hope of the posts' how far apart are the posts?

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two poles is 22.248 feet

•This question can be solved by using Pythagoras theorem that is

Slant height ^2 = height^2 + base^ 2

•Here,

height = difference between the heights of two poles

= 17-8

= 9 feet

Slant height = length of wire stretched between the two poles

= 24 feet

•Distance between poles = √(24*24 – 9*9)

= 22.248 feet

the infinity sign
