Answer» 6 m Step-by-step explanation: Since the ladder FORMS a right-angled triangle, We can APPLY Pythagoras Theorem, i.e. Hypotenuse ² = base² + height ² 10² = base² + 8² 100 = base² + 64 base² = 100 - 64 base² = 36 base = √36 base = 6 Therefore, the distance between the FOOT of the ladder from the base of the WALL is 6 m |
