Question

The length of the longer ladder is 37 ft and climbing on it,
one can climb upto a height of 35 ft. The shorter ladder is
25 ft long and it reaches to a height of 24 ft. Find the distance
between the foot of the two ladders?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The two ladder will form Right angled triangle.

Length of ladder will be the hypotenuse.

Third side of Right angled triangle having sides 37ft and 35ft

= √37² - 35²= √(37+35)(37-35) = √72*2=√144=12ft

Third side of Right angled triangle having sides 25ft and 24ft

=√25²-24²= √(25+24)(25-24) =√49*1 = √49 = 7ft

Distance between foot of ladder = 12-7 =5ft

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

height of ladder 1=37ft

height of ladder 2=25ft

climbing of ladder 1=35ft

climbing of ladder 2=24ft

so,remove 11fts from ladder 1

we have a square

side=height of ladder 2=25 ft

so, distance between foot of ladders=25ft
