Answer: C. 17.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2
18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2
BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75
BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the figure is a triangular prism.
The length of the prism is 4 m.
The base of the triangle is 2.5 m.
The height of the triangle is 2.25 m.
We need to determine the volume of the triangular prism.
<u>Volume of the triangular prism:</u>
The volume of the triangular prism can be determined using the formula,
where b is the base of the triangle,
h is the height of the triangle and
l is the length of the prism.
Substituting b = 2.5, h = 2.25 and l = 4 in the above formula, we get;
Thus, the volume of the triangular prism is 11.25 m³
