<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,
Substituting the values in the above formula,
= 112 + 92
= 121 + 81
= 210
H = sqrt(210)
H = 14.491
Therefore, the height of the ladder is 14.491 feet
