The height of the wall from the question is 13.27ft

<h3 /><h3>Pythagoras theorem </h3>

The theorem states that the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.

From the given question

Hypotenuse (ladder length) = 15ft

Adjacent = 7feet

Required

Height of the wall H

According to the theorem

15² = 7² + H²

H² = 225 - 49

H² = 176

H = 13.27feet

Hence the height of the wall from the question is 13.27ft

So the angle A on the first diamond corresponds with angle Q, angle B with angle S, angle C with angle R, and angle D with angle P. So if angle D correspond (equals) angle P then x+34=97 and if angle R corresponds with C then 3y-13=83. From there just do some basic algebra to find the x and y values.
