an electric pole is 24 feet long a mechanic uses of 30 feet long ladder to get to the top how far from the base of the pole should he place the ladder

Answer»

Let pole be perpendicular
LADDER be hypotenuse
and distance be base
so, USING PYTHAGOREAN
30^2 = 24^2 + B^2
900 = 576 + b^2
324 = b^2
18 = b

so distance = 18M
