ground. When the bottom of the ladderis moved 2m farther away from the wall,
the top of the ladder rests against the foot of the wall. What is the length of
the ladder?

Answer 1

Given :

• Perpendicular (P) = 8m
• Base (B) = 2m

To Find :

• Find Hypotenuse (H) / Length of ladder ?

Solution :

• Length of Ladder = BC
• Height of Wall = BA
• Distance btw. Wall & Ladder = CA

Applying Pythagoras Theorem :

➣ (Hypotenuse)² = (P)² + (B)²

➣ (BC)² = (BA)² + (CA)²

➣ (BC)² = (8)² + (2)²

➣ (BC)² = 64 + 2

➣ (BC)² = 68

➣ BC = √68

➣ BC = 8.24m [approx]

Hence,

• Length of the Ladder is 8.24m.
