To solve the problem, we need to find the height of the point of intersection of the lines joining the tops of two poles to the foot of the other. Let's denote the heights of the two poles as follows: - Height of Pole 1 (A) = 20 m - Height of Pole 2 (B) = 80 m Let’s denote the foot of Pole 1 as point A and the foot of Pole 2 as point B. The point of intersection of the lines joining the tops of the poles to the foot of the other will be denoted as point E. ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...
