Answer:

the distance between the ladder base and the pole is 4 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

if we assume that , it forms a right triangle.

in ΔABC, if angle B is right angle.

AC = length of ladder = 5

AB = hight of pole = 3

BC = distance between the ladder base and the pole = ?

By pythagorous theorem,

AC² = AB² + BC²

BC² = AC² - AB²

= 5² - 3²

= 25 - 9

= 16

BC = √16 = 4.

so, the distance between the ladder base and the pole is 4 meters.
