Answer: 13.42 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To hang lights up on his house.Garrett place is a 14 foot ladder 4 feet from the base of the house.

Since house is standing vertical to to ground making a right angles , so the triangle made by ladder must be a right triangle, where ladder is a hypotenuse.

Let h be the height of the house where the ladder reach.

By Pythagoras Theorem , we have

x^2+4^2=14^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+16=196\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=196-16\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2 =180\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\sqrt{180}=13.416407865\approx13.42\text{ feet}

Hence, the height of the house where the ladder reach= 13.42 feet

This seems like a right triangle problem.

So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.

So, the equation is 4^{2} +x^{2} =14^{2}.

Solve for x:

16+x^{2}= 196

x^{2}= 196-16

x^{2}= 180

x = 6√5 feet


Hope this helps!

James defines an angle as "a figure consisting of two rays." His statement is not precise enough because he should specify that
riadik2000 [5.3K]

James should define that the rays must be collinear. the two rays coming from the same point will form collinear rays which will form an angle at end point.

The statement of james should be precise in order to clearly explain the angle formation.

The two non collinear rays will form an angle at end point where they meet with each other.

The defined vertex will form the appropriate angle. there should be defined term for the non collinear rays.
