<h3>The ladder will reach a height of 11.8 feet up the wall</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
The ladder, wall and base of the ladder from wall forms a right angled triangle
Length of ladder forms the hypotenuse
Length of ladder = 12 foot
base of the ladder from wall = 2 feet
<em><u>To find: height of wall</u></em>
By pythagoras theorem.
Where,
"c" is the Length of ladder
"a" is the base of the ladder from wall
"b" is the height of wall
Substituting the values,
Thus, the ladder will reach a height of 11.8 feet on wall
Observe attached picture.
On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft
When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.
We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.
From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:
Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:
We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:
We can solve for A:
Height of flagpole is 48 feet.
