Question

A ladder leans up against the side of a house. The ladder is 5 m tall. If the foot of the ladder is 1 m from the side of the house, how high up the house does the ladder reach?

Answer 1

Answer:

= 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

1 + b² = 25

b² = 24

b = ±√24

b = ±2√6

We can forget about the minus answer because you cannot have a negative length. That does not make sense.
