Answer: C. 17.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2
18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2
BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75
BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So here we have a 45-45-90 triangle.
This a special right triangle were the sides across from the 45 degree angles can be considered x, while the hypotenuse is two square roots of x.
Here since we have the sides across from the 45 degree angle we can conclude that
So if we wanted the hypotenuse we would just plug in this value of x like so:
Therefore the hypotenuse is 18.
