A ladder is placed against a wall such that its foot is is at a distance of 8 m from the wall and its top reaches a window 6 metre above the ground find the length of the ladder |
|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: Step-by-step explanation: Answer: PR is the ladder. QR is the DISTANCE between BASE and ladder. PQ is height of the window. ★ Now,by using Phythagoras theorem we get:
:⟹(Hypotenuse) 2 =(Perpendicular) 2 +(Base) 2
:⟹(PR) 2=(PQ) 2 +(QR) 2
:⟹PR 2 =(6m) 2 +(8m) 2
:⟹PR 2 =36+64
:⟹PR= 36+64
:⟹PR=
:⟹ PR=10meter
∴ Length of the ladder is 10 meter
