o gosh i dont know this who wanna take over lol
wait nvm i think i got it
Ok so u wanna find the legnth and angle of the ladder , you know how you place a ladder down its away from the way and makes it way to the wall
Length, would be found by using the pythogoreum theroem which is not so hard a^2 +b^2=c^2
^2 = squared like when you multiply 8 squared its 64
So in this case u have to use it in this equation a^2+b^2=c^2
u still here
Ok yay
Yes, I understand the pythagorean theorem
So in this case how would you put the Pythagorean theorem into this equation. For example find A, B,C
Okay i understand, so just plug in right
Yes exactly, but not for the angle just the length. Do you know which is a b and c
?
