Answer:

8.66 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the building is completely straight, a right angle is formed and therefore a right triangle.

Thanks to this we can calculate the height at which the ladder reaches the wall using the Pythagorean theorem, this height being one of the legs.

We have to:

c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2

c = 10

a = 5

replacing

b ^ 2 = 10 ^ 2 - 5 ^ 2

b ^ 2 = 75

b = 8.66

that is to say that the height at which the ladder reaches the wall is 8.66 meters

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 5 y=5y, equals, 5 and that passes through the point ( − 7 , − 5 ) (−7,
Jlenok [28]
The line of the equation perpendicular to y=5 and cuts through (-5,-7) will be given by
m(x-x1)=y-y1
where m=slope.
from y=0x+5, the slope of the perpendicular line m=0,
thus the equation will be:
0(x--5)=y--7
0=y+7
y=-7
The equation is y=-7

I totally forgot that I am having meeting at my work place. All of sudden, I remembered that meeting through a hint given by my colleague while having discussion about our project work. I have to present a topic which I didn't prepare yet. Meeting is at 1.15pm. OMG! It's already 12.30 pm. Within few minutes I went to the meeting place with my topic. When I entered the meeting hall, the time was 12.53pm. I was happy to know that I arrived 22 minutes earlier.
