Answer:

The ladder is 11 m long approximately .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall.

To Find :If the top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall, how long is the ladder?

Solution :

The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall.

Base = 7 m

The top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall

So, height at which ladder touches wall i.e. perpendicular = 9 m

We are supposed to find how long is the ladder i.e. Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2 +Base^2

Hypotenuse^2 =9^2 +7^2

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{9^2 +7^2}

Hypotenuse =11.40175

Hence The ladder is 11 m long approximately .

We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:

49+81=130

Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.

mart [117]

Answer:

If a cone and a cylinder have the same base and the same height, then the volume of the cone is of the volume of the cylinder. For example, the cylinder and cone shown here both have a base with radius 3 feet and a height of 7 feet. The cylinder has a volume of cubic feet since .
