Step-by-step explanation:
From right angled ∆EBD,
Using the Pythagoras Theorem,
ED2 = EB2 + BD2
(5)2 = (EB)2 + (14)2 { BD = 1.4}
25 = (EB)2 + 1.96
(EB)2 = 25 –1.96 = 23.04
EB = √23.04 = 4.8
Now, we have,
EC = EB – BC = 4.8 – 4 = 0.8
Hence, the top of the ladder would slide upwards on the wall by a distance of 0.8 m.
