Question

Jennifer needs to use a ladder to clean a second floor window on a building. If the window is 13 ft above the ground and the base of the ladder is 4 ft from the building, which equation below can be
used to determine the length (x) of the ladder needed to reach the window? Draw a picture

Answer 1

By using the Pythagoras theorem, the length of the ladder will be 13.6 feet.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

Jennifer needs to use a ladder to clean a second-floor window on a building.

If the window is 13 ft above the ground and the base of the ladder is 4 ft from the building.

Then the length of the ladder will be

H² = 13² + 4²

H² = 169 + 16

H² = 185

H = 13.6 ft
