Question

After shoveling the walkway this week, I leaned my 45 inch shovel up against the garage wall. The handle is 9 inches further up than the blade (shovel part) is from the base of the wall. How far is the blade from the base of the wall?

Answer 1

18 ft

Explanation:

If you think about if it is 9 feet away and you move up 6 inches its getting closer to the building and farther from the ground
