Answer:
Thus, it is possible to erect a pole at a point p on the boundary of the park at distances 5m and 12m respectively from gates B and A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P be the required location of pole .
A and B are the two gates.
Let the distance of pole at p from gate be 'x' meters
i.e. PB = x m
•°• AP = (x + 7)m and AB = 13 m
•°• AP² + BP² = AB² => (x +7)² + x =13²
Rejecting x =-12, we get x = 5
•°• PB = 5m
and
AP = 12m
