Answer:
15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:
hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L
horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6
vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3
So, we can use Pythagoras formula:
A2 +B2= C2
(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²
L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²
L2 -18L+45 =0
APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:
L =15 OR L=3
If L=3
Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)
So L=15
Essentially, what we need to do here is prove that BE=EC, BE=CB, and.or CE=BC therefore making it isosceles. With ∠AEC=∠DEB, we know AE=DE, so EC=EB (the points go in order). Therefore, as EC=EB, BEC is isosceles (it has at least 2 equal sides).
Feel free to ask further questions!
