∙ 14y agoREMEMBER a2+b2=c2
So b=7 and c=12 but we don't know a yet.
So the equation would be a2+72=122
Find the square root of 7 and 12.
So now the equation turns to a2+49=144
Subtract 49 from 144 a2+49=144
-49 -49
-------
a2=95
find square root of a2 which is a.
find square root of 95 which is 9.75.
So a=9.75

A 10 meter ladder is leaning against a building The bottom of the ladder is 5 meters from the building How many meters high is the top of the ladder?
5 meters
A 10-m ladder is leaning against a building The bottom of the ladder is 5 m from the building. how high is the top of the ladder?
Its pythagoras: 102 - 52 = vertical height2. So 100-25 = vertical height2. Then the square root of 75 must = vertical height. Which makes the top of the ladder 8.66 feet (8ft 8 inches) from the ground.
A ladder is leaning against a building The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 4ft less than the length of the ladder How high up the side of the building is the top of the lad?
x^2=(x-4)^2+y^2 height up the wall = y = (x^2-(x-4)^2)^1/2 so if the length of the ladder is 10 feet Y= (100-36)^1/2 = 8

A ladder is leaning against a wall if you were going to climb the ladder are you better off if there is no friction between the ladder and the wall or ladder and the floor?
No. if the floor is smooth you must have friction between the ladder and the floor, or the ladder would just slide away. Technically you could do without friction between wall and ladder, but even that can be helpful in preventing the ladder from going sideways.
