Question 596254: Two radio antenna towers stand perpendicular to level ground and 50m apart. Two support wires are strung from the base of one tower to the top of the other. If the towers are 20m and 30m high, how high above the ground is the point where the support wires intersect each other? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two radio antenna towers stand perpendicular to level ground and 50m apart. Two support wires are strung from the base of one tower to the top of the other. If the towers are 20m and 30m high, how high above the ground is the point where the support wires intersect each other?
---------------
20*30/(20+30)
= 12 meters
------------
The distance between them doesn't affect the answer.
