Question

A ladder 10 m long reaches a window 8 m above the ground.find the distance of the foot of the ladder from base of the wall .​

Answer 1

Answer:

this is your answer pls mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance is 6m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of Ladder = 10m

Helight of Wall and Window = 8m

So, they form a right angle triangle.

By Pythagoras Theorem,

(Base)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2 - (Length)^2

(Base)^2 = 10^2 - 8^2

(Base)^2 = 100 - 64

Base = √36

Base 6

Therefore, as the base is equal to the distance, so the answer is 6m.
