The slide needs to be 4.123 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Length for the ladder- 1 mtr
Distance of the bottom of the slide from the ladder- 4 mtr
Length of the slide needed
We can view the whole set up in the form of a right-angled triangle with the base representing the slide distance from the ladder, ladder length representing altitude and slide length representing as hypotenuse (As provided in the diagram)
For right-angled triangle we know from Pythagoras theorem-
Base² + altitude²= hypotenuse ²
Substituting the values of base as 4 mtr and altitude as 1 m
(Hypotenuse)²= 17
∴ Hypotenuse (slide length) =4.123 mtr
∴ Length of the slide needed= 4.123 meters
Remark
You have given the second best answer. Your answer is |x|<1. You should have open circles at 1 and - 1.
Solution
I have enclosed a graph that is not a number line. You could confine yourself to a number line just by tracing out the blue solution (which is the answer you want)
The red solution is what you did.
The blue solution does not include x = 1 nor does it include x = - 1. The number line would show 1 < x < ∞ and -∞ < x < -1
