Question

HI!
CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP ME SOLVE DIS ASAP?:

Carlos placed a 5-meter ladder against the school building. The distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building is 1 m greater than the distance from the bottom of the building to the foot of the ladder. How far is the foot of the ladder from the bottom of the building? How far is the top of the ladder from the bottom of the building?

Answer 1

are you familiar with trigonometry?

Answer 2

Hopeful, the wall of the building is plumb. So the ladder, the wall of the building to the top of the ladder, and the distance from the wall to the foot of the building form a right triangle.

What is the hypotenuse of the triangle?

Answer 3

No we havent tackled that lesson ( trigo )

Answer 4

Pls someone help me bc dis is a proj to be paassed tom pls help me

Answer 5

This does not take trigonometry. It is just geometry with the Pythagorean theorem.

Answer 6

yes you're right. its just pythagoras.

Answer 7

yaaas. do you know the theorem?

Answer 8

Now the Pythagorean theorem tells us that in a right triangle, the square of the long side (hypotenuse) is equal to sum of the squares on the other two sides. When the ladder leans againt the building, what is the hypotenuse?
