Question

A ladder that is 6 meters long leans

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of ladder = 6 meters

Distance of ladder from base = 1.5 meters

Find:

Height of building from base to ladder

Computation:

Perpendicular = √Hypotenuse² - Base²

Height of building from base to ladder = √Length of ladder² - Distance of ladder from base²

Height of building from base to ladder = √6² - 1.5²

Height of building from base to ladder = √36 - 2.25

Height of building from base to ladder = √33.75

Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)
