The height of the electric pole is 12 m

When an electric wire falls, its one end touches the ground at P, 5 m away from the base of the pole,

base = 5

length of the wire from the top of the pole to the ground is 13 m

Height of the plant can be calculated by pythagoras theorem

h² = p² + b²

13² = p² + 5²

p² = 169 - 25

p = √144

p = 12m

Therefore, the height of the electric pole is 12 m
