A ladder 13m long is placed on the ground in such a way that it touches the top of a vertical wall 12m high. find the distance of the foot of the ladder from the bottom of the wall.​

Answer»

Answer:

Solve with pythagorean theorem

c^2=a^2+b^2

c-measure of the laddee

b-measure of the vertical WALL from the top of the LADDER to the ground

a-distance of the foot of the ladder to the BOTTOM of the wall.

c=13m

b=12m

a=?

c^2=a^2+b^2

13^2=a^2+12^2

13^2-12^2=a^2

169-144=a^2

√25=√a^2

5 m=a----- final answer

The distance of the foot of the ladder to the bottom of the wall is 5 m high
