Question

a 5.5 m long ladder is leaned against a wall .The distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder is 3.3 m. Find out the height at which the ladder reaches the wall. pls help quick

Answer 1

Answer:givenlength of ladder = 5.5 m. ( hypotenuse )

distance between wall and foot of ladder= 3.3 m ( base )

to find

height of the wall upto which the ladder reaches.

solution

here we are given hypotenuse and base.

we will use Pythagoras theorem to find the height or altitude.

p be the height.

so p = √ h²-b²

= √ 5.5²-3.3²

= √ 30.25 - 10.89

= √ 19.36

= 4.4 m ( answer )

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras theorem

height of the ladder reaches the wall = √(length of the ladder)²-(length of the ladder from the foot of the wall)²

height of the ladder which is the wall = √(5.5)²-(3.3)²

√30.25-10.89

√19.36
