A ladder, 6.5 m long, rests against a vertical wall. if the foot of the ladder is 6 m from the foot of the wall, find upto how much height does the ladder reach​

Answer»

Answer:

LENGTH of ladder = 6.5 m

Length of foot of the WALL = 2.5 m

To find : Height AC According to Pythagoras THEOREM,

(BC)2 = (AB)2 + (AC)2

(6.5)2 = (2.5)2 + (AC)2

42.25 = 6.25 + AC2

AC2 = 42.25 – 6.25 = 36 m

AC = √6x6  = 6 m

∴ Height of wall = 6 m
