Answer: 51.54 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder should be 1 feet away from the wall by each 4-feet that the wall rises, so if we have a 50 ft wall, the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall must be:

50ft/4 = 12.5ft.

Now we know the cathetus of our ladder, 12.5ft and 50ft, let's find the hypotenuse, that is:

H = √(12.5^2 + 50^2) = 51.54 feet.

Which is also the lenght of our ladder, so the shortest ladder to climb safely a 50 ft wall is 51.54 ft long.

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula,  

a ^2 − b ^2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b )

where  

a = y

and  

b = 6  

( y + 6 ) ( y − 6 )
