Question

2) You are climbing a ladder which is slanted at an angle of 45 degrees (measured in the anticlockwise 7 point
direction) with respect to the ground. The ladder, leaning against a wall, is at a vertical distance of 1 metre from the
ground. If you are at a location which cuts the ladder in the ratio 2 : 1 from the top to bottom, what are the
coordinates of your location? Assume origin (0,0) to be at the intersection of the ladder and the ground.

Answer 1

Answer:

(1/3,1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it's an isosceles triangle, both vertical and horizontal length is 1m.

Which makes the hypotenuse of the triangle = $\sqrt{1^{2} +1^{2}} =\sqrt{2}$

Now divide the top 2/3 of this hypotenuse to another triangle and do the same operations which will get us the answer as (1/3,1/3)
