Question

A 5.5 m long ladder is leaned against a wall. The ladder reaches the wall to a height of 4.4 m. Find the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

Answer 1

it's so simple.
using pythagoras theorem,
h²=p²+b²
(5.5)²=p²+(4.4)²
p²=30.25-19.36
p²=10.89
p=3.3m

Answer 2

Using Pythagoras Theorem
(hypotenuse)^2=(side one)^2+(side two)^2
5.5^2=4.4^2+(side two)^2
(side two)^2=5.5^2--4.4^2
(side two)=√10.89
=3.3
