A 15 foot ladder is placed on the top of a wall. The distance from the bottom of the wall to the bottom of the ladder is 7 feet.
Calculate the height of the wall.
1 answer:
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
