5. If you wanted to safely climb a 50-foot wall, what’s the shortest ladder you’d be willing to use? Explain.6. If you were 1 foot shorter, could you use a ladder that’s 1 foot taller? Explain

Answer»

LADDER is inclined at an angle of around 75 deg for climbing

Step-by-step explanation:

If you wanted to safely climb a 50-foot wall,  

Ladder angle should be around 75 deg

( there is a rule for evry 4 ft to climb ladder should be 1 ft AWAY from wall)

Sin 75°  =  Height you want to climb/Height of Ladder

=> Height of Ladder = Height you want to climb/Sin 75°

=> Height of Ladder = 50/0.966

=> Height of Ladder =  51.7  ft

Hence 52 ft would be preferred  height of Ladder

if you are 1 foot SHORTER  than using  a ladder that's 1 foot taller

as 1 ft ladder height = 0.996 ft wall height  

and u r 1 ft  shorter hence slightly lesser so better to use more than 1 ft longer ladder
