Question

A ladder 5m long rests against a wall at a height of 4.8m from the ground. Calculate the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall

Answer 1

$according \: to \: the \: ouestion \: \\ a \: ladder \: and \: makes \: a \: right \: angle \: triangle \: \\ we \: have \: hypotenuse \: = 5m \: \\ perpendicular = 4.8m \: and \:let \: base ={ x} \: m \\ {5}^{2} = {4.8}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = 25 - 23.04 \\ x = \sqrt{1.96} \\ x = 1.4m$
therefore distance from foot of ladder to the wall is 1.4m
