Question

what is the length of the ladder ? it's 6 ft . from the house at the touches the wall 14 ft. up at the top . simplify your answer

Answer 1

here,
hypotenuse (h) = lenght of the ladder
perpendicular (p) = 14 ft
base (b) = 6 ft
so,
we know,
h =

`\sqrt{6 { }^(2) + 14 {?}^(2) }`
or, h = 15.231
