Question

A 24m ladder reached a window from the ground on placing it against a wall at a
distance of 7m. At what height is the window from the ground?​

Answer 1

Answer:

△DAC and △EBC are right angled triangle.

So, by pythagorous theorem, we get

AC=24m And, CB=7m

Width of the street =AC+CB

⟹24+7=31m

Answer 2

Meters of ladder that reached window- 24m

Distance from the ground- 7m

Height of the window from the ground- 24-7

=17m

Answer- The height of the window from the ground is 17m
