Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
in the question
its given
15m long ladder q=which is our hypotenuse
and 12m which is our height
now clearly by using the pythagores therom
H^2=A^2+B^2
which means
Hypotenuse^2=Altitude^2+Base^2
so we got the H and A
now we need to find B
so B^2=H^2-A^2
B^2=15 ^2-12^2
B^2=225-144
B^2=81
B= root of 81
which is 9
so therefore 9m is the distance of foot of the ladder from the wall
