A ladder that is 13 meters long is leaning against a wall. The distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 7 meters

less than the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground. Create an equation that models the length of the ladder in terms of x, which is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation that is used to model the length of ladder in terms of x is:

                   x^2-7x-60=0

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 meters and the other two legs are x meters and (x-7) meters.

where x is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

and (x-7) is the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Hence, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:

13^2=x^2+(x-7)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\169=x^2+x^2+49-14x\\\\i.e.\\\\169=2x^2-14x+49\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x+49-169=0\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x-120=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-7x-60=0

                 Hence, the answer is:

                  x^2-7x-60=0

Oh no :DDDD
so you gan take the pythagorean formula, as it is a right triangle and modify dat.
169 =  {x}^{2}  +  {(x - 7)}^{2}
twelve and five if yuo need to know numbres :DDDD

What is the value of x?
a_sh-v [17]

In my knowledge

x = 24²+7²

= 576+49= 625

x= sqroot of 625

x = 25 (By Pythagoras Theorem)

Hope it helps
