<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,  

H^2   = P^2 + B^2

Substituting the values in the above formula,

H^2  = 112 + 92

H^2  = 121 + 81

H^2 = 210

H = sqrt(210)

H = 14.491

Therefore, the height of the ladder is 14.491 feet

Find the slope of the line drawn below
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3)

m = \frac{-3-2}{1-1} = \frac{-5}{0}

Since division by zero is undefined then the slope of the line is undefined
