Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 stand for 600(six hundred).
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
2/3 * 1/2
Multiply straight across
2*1 = 2
3*2 = 6
2/6 = 1/3
Answer: 1/3
