Hi there ! Answer is Given Below ! Hope it helps !

Explanation :

Problem :- If A ladder 10 meter long is placed along a wall in such a way that reaches the height of 6 meter. How far is the foot of the ladder from the wall​?

Solution :-

Let us see a figure to understand the figure better:-

As we can see , this is a right angled triangle

The ladder is like the hypotenuse and the wall is one of its side

Since we know That

Hypotenuse Squared = Square of 1st side + Square of 2nd side

Therefore , when we substitute values , we get

$10^{2} =6^{2} +x^{2} \\100=36+x^{2} \\x^{2} =100-36\\x^{2} =64\\x = 8$

Therefore , the distance between the foot of the ladder and wall is 8m
