Sagot :

Answer: 20.71 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the length of the poles are 25m and 35 m

The length of the cable is 23 m

Suppose the distance between them is x

From the figure, apply Pythagoras theorem

[tex]\Rightarrow 23^=x^2+10^2\\\Rightarrow 529-100=x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=429\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{429}=20.71\ m[/tex]

Distance between Poles is 20.71 m
