Q:
If you could answer both questions, that would be
Accepted Solution
A:
Question 4
Answer is 8 feet
10 ft ladder = hypotenuse
6 ft away = one side
That makes a right angled triangle
so
by using Pythagoras theorem,
AB² + BC² = AC²
6² + BC² = 10²
36 + BC² = 100
100 - 36 = BC²
64 = BC²
8 = BC
Similarly, in Q 5
Answer is 12 feet
