Question

Please help me with this homework

Answer 1

Answer:

10.44 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this as a triange. The base is 3m and the perpendicular is 10m. The angle between the base and wall is 90° so it will be a right angled triangle.

Solve this by Pythagoras theorm:

let length of ladder is c

base is b

And perpendicular is a

Acc to Pythagoras theorem:

C² = a² + b²

C² = 10² + 3²

C² = 100 + 9

C² = 109

√C² = √109

C = 10.44m
