Answer 1

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the file, we see that;

Horizontal distance from bottom of ladder to side of house = 2

Length of ladder leaning against side of the house = 4 m.

Now we want to find the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground which we can call d.

Thus we can find it from pythagoras theorem.

d = √(2² + 4²)

d = √(4 + 16)

d = √20

d = 4.47

To the nearest tenth gives;

d = 4.5
