How do you figure the ratio of a triangle?
base by height
When a painter leans a 29 foot ladder so that the base of the ladder is 21 feet from the wall. What is the height at which the top of the ladder touches the wall?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 20 feet
If a 6 meter ladder is against a wall forming a 25 degree angle how far away from the wall is the base of the ladder?
Use the cosine ratio: 5.437846722 meters
What is the height radius and base of a cylinder with a volume of 1 cubic meters?
It depends on the ratio between the base and the height. Bh=A, and B=(pi)(r2)
A triangle is within a rectangle. how to find the ratio of the area of triangle to the rectangle?
Sounds like the triangle is spread out so that (the point is at the top of the rectangle) and (the base of the triangle is the same as the base of the rectangle).Base of rectangle = base of triangleHeight of rectangle = height of triangleWrite the formulas:Area of the rectangle = (base) times (height)Area of triangle = (one half of) (base) times (height)Can you see the ratio now ?
What does the height base ratio mean?
The ratio of the height of an object to the length of its base.

a 12 foot ladder is placed against a wall so that the base of the ladder is 2 feet away from the wall. What is the height of the top of the ladder?
10,000 m
Approximately how far should the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the wall?
1/4 the height of the ladder. (flat top on rungs should be level when ladder is placed right.
what- The ratio of the base to the height of a roof is 26:5. The base is 42 feet longer than the height.What are the base and height of the roof?
base: 52 ft

If A ladder leaning against a wall makes a 60 angle with the ground the base of the ladder is 3 m from the building how high above the ground is the top of the ladder?
This answer uses trigonometry to avoid a lot of work:tangent = opposite/adjacent and tangent*adjacent (base of ladder from the building) = opposite (height of ladder above ground)So: tangent 60 degrees*3 = 5.196152423Therefore: Top of the ladder above ground = 5.2 meters correct to one decimal place.More laborious methodThe right triangle formed by the wall, ground and ladder has sides in the ratio of 1::2::sq-rt-of-3. The shortest side is the one opposite the 30 degree angle, i.e., the given distance from wall to base of the ladder--3 m.The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the triangle, and is twice as long, hence 6 m.And the height of the ladder's top from the ground is proportional to the third side whose length is sq-rt-3 times that of the shortest side. Sq-rt-3 is about 1.732, so height of the ladder's top at the wall is about 5.20 m, or 520 cm.

A 30 foot ladder leaning against the side of a house makes a 70 degrees 5' angle with the ground how far up the side of the house does the ladder reach?
Round the base angle to 70 degrees and use the sine ratio: 30*sine 70 degrees = 28.19077862 feet Height of ladder from the ground = 28 feet to 2 s.f.
A 15 metre long ladder is placed against a wall in such a way from the wall up to what height does the ladder reach the wall?
15 meters, or less, depending on the angle.
