<u>Answer:</u>
The height of the ladder is 14.491 feet
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given the height is 11 feet
Base = 7 + 2 = 9 feet
Consider the ladder to be the hypotenuse
Applying Pythagoras Theorem,
Substituting the values in the above formula,
= 112 + 92
= 121 + 81
= 210
H = sqrt(210)
H = 14.491
Therefore, the height of the ladder is 14.491 feet
My "work" is to enter the equations into a graphing calculator and let it show me the answers--just as your "work" is to copy the question to Brainly.
The solutions are
(x, y) = (-0.5, 7.5)
(x, y) = (3, 25)
_____
When you equate the expressions for y, you get the quadratic
2x² -5x -3 = 0
(2x +1)(x -3) = 0
x = -1/2 or 3
y = 5(x +2) = 15/2 or 25
