Question

the foot of ladder is 6m away from its wall and it stop reaches a window 8m above the ground. find the length of the ladder
​

Answer 1

Answer:

use pythagorous theorem

length of the ladder is the hypotenuse

therefore.

6^2 + 8^2 = ab ^2 ( lets take length as ab)

36 + 64 = ab^2

100 = ab^2

ab = 10

therefore length of ladder is 10m
