EXPLANATION.
Top end of the ladder touches the wall of a building at a height = 24m.
Other end of the ladder touches the ground = 7m. away from wall.
As we know that,
⇒ Perpendicular = 24m.
⇒ Base = 7m.
As we know that,
Formula of :
Pythagorean theorem.
⇒ H² = P² + B².
⇒ H² = (24)² + (7)².
⇒ H² = 576 + 49.
⇒ H² = 625.
⇒ H = √625.
⇒ H = 25m.

Given :-
The top end of a ladder touches the wall of a building at a height of 24m. and the other end of the ladder touches the ground 7m
To Find :-
Length of ladder
Solution :-
According to the pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²
H² = (7)² + (24)²
H² = 49 + 576
H² = 625
H = √625
H = 25
Hence
Length is 25 m
