Question

A 10-foot ladder leans against a wall with its foot braced 3 feet from wall’s base. How far up the wall does the ladder reach? Show your work. Round answer to the nearest hundredths. IF THE PICTURE IS NOT UP JUST RELOAD THE PAGE PLEASE!

Answer 1

13ft because the length that the object is tilted plus the height it is when its leaning equals the acctual length

Answer 2

This is a right-angled triangle and then you can apply a^2+b^2 = c^2
100 = 9 + wallup^2 --> wallup^2 = 91 --> wallup = 9.53939 --> 9.54
Hope this helped.
