Question

Kali has a 666 meter ladder that she wants to use to get her cat out of a tree. She puts the base of the ladder 222 meters away from the base of the tree.

Answer 1

Answer:

627.91

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem

- Lenth of the ladder: 666

- the base of the ladder away from the base of the tree : 222

* Pythagorean Theorem fomula is: $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

⇔ $222^{2} + b^{2} = 666^{2}$

⇔$b^{2} = 394 272$

⇔ b = $\sqrt{394272}$ = 627.91

So the high of the tree is: 627.91
