//Use algebra to find work out the size

14 = w * l
l = 5 + w
14 = w * (5 + w)
14 = 5w + w^2
0 = w^2 + 5w - 14
0 = (w - 2) (w + 7)
=> w = 2cm (as it cannot be negative)

l = w + 5
l = 7cm

Suppose an identical ladder was put against a building that was 18 feet high and the ladder reached the top of the building. How
nikdorinn [45]

The distance between the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean theorem?</h3>

It states that in the right-angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

As we can see in the figure the length of the ladder is 20 ft and the base of the ladder is 10 ft from the base of the building.

By using the Pythagorean theorem we will calculate the distance between the tip of the ladder and the base of the building.

H² = 20² - 10²

H²= 400 - 300

H² = 300

H = √300

H = 17.32 ft.

Therefore the distance between the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

To know more about the Pythagorean theorem follow
