Question

find the height of a wall if a ladder 12m long is placed along the wall amd its foot is 2m away from the wall
send with solution and solving will be marked branliest and these values only ok​

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the wall is 11.8321595662 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the wall is standing upright at a 90° angle. So, the ladder is the hypotenuse in this triangle. We must find the height of the wall using Pythagoras theorem.

So,

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} (Pythagoras\ theorem)$

2² + b² = 12²

4 + b² = 144

b² = 144 - 4

b² = 140

b = √140

b = 11.8321595662 m

Therefore, the height of the wall is 11.8321595662 meters.

I hope this helps!!
