Answer:

24.33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The flower bed, the ladder and the house form a right angled triangle where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side.

Let L = length of ladder, H = height of house = 24 feet and l = length of flower bed = 4 feet.

Using Pythagoras' theorem,

L² = H² + l²

So, L = √(H² + l²)

substituting the values of the variables, we have

L = √[(24 ft)² + (4 ft)²]

L = √[576 ft² + 16 ft²]

L = √[592 ft²]

L = 24.33 ft

The ladder must be at least 24.33 feet long to reach the top and be out of the flower bed

WHY DOES SOLVING RADICAL EQUATIONS NEED A DIFFERENT PROCESS? HOW DO EXTRANEOUS SOLUTIONS ARISE FROM RADICAL EQUATIONS?
professor190 [17]
Solving radical equations are different because you would want to get everything in the equation to rational numbers.
Extraneous solutions arise when you manipulate the equation. After manipulating if a solution is found that can not satisfy the original equation(s).
