How far up the wall is a 10 ft ladder if the base of the ladder is 3 ft away from the wall?
The ladder is 7 foot up the wall if the ladder if the ladder is 3 ft away from wall.
What should be the horizontal distance in feet for a ladder to the wall?
The best tip I've come to is that for every four feet of height you have to climb, move the base one foot away from the wall. Better still is to have someone foot the ladder, or to fasten the ladder with a rope, preferably near the top of the ladder to avoid the ladder sliding sideways.
Ladder stand 10 foot tall when braced against a wall the bottom of the ladder is 6 foot away from the wall how far up the wall does the ladder go?
assuming the wall and ground make a 90 degree angle with one another, Pythagorean's Theorem states the ladder will go 8 feet up the wall.
How is a wedge like an inclined plane and how is it different?
An inclined plane is any surface with an upward slope away from a horizontal line. A wedge fits this description, however it could also be classified differently as having a declining slope from a parallel horizontal surface.
How far is the base of a ladder that is 25 feet long leaning on a building 24 feet above the ground?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the base is 7 feet
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
How is the Pythagorean Theorem used in everyday experiences?
You lean a ladder that reaches to the top of a house. You want to measure how tall the house is, but you can't measure it. The base of the ladder is 6 feet away from the house and the ladder is 26 feet long. How tall is the house?
How far away from the house should a fire pit be placed for safety reasons?
A fire pit should be placed at least 10-20 feet away from the house for safety reasons.
How far up the wall is a 10 ft ladder if the base of the ladder is 3 ft away from the wall?
The ladder is 7 foot up the wall if the ladder if the ladder is 3 ft away from wall.
What is the porper distance of a ladder to wall?
The proper distance of a ladder from a wall can be determined using the 4-to-1 rule: for every four feet of height you want to reach, the base of the ladder should be one foot away from the wall. This means if the top of the ladder is 12 feet high, it should be placed 3 feet away from the wall. This positioning helps ensure stability and safety while using the ladder. Always make sure the ladder is on a firm, level surface and positioned securely.
How far should a fire pit be placed from a house for safety reasons?
A fire pit should be placed at least 10-20 feet away from a house for safety reasons.
How can I effectively divert water from my house on a slope?
To effectively divert water from your house on a slope, you can install a system of gutters and downspouts to collect and redirect the water away from the foundation. Additionally, you can create swales or trenches to channel the water downhill and prevent it from pooling near your house. Proper grading of the land can also help direct water away from your home.
What is the proper ladder ground placement for a working height of 12 feet?
For a working height of 12 feet, the ladder should be placed at a base distance of approximately 3 feet away from the wall for every 4 feet of ladder height. This means the base of the ladder should be about 9 feet from the wall. Additionally, ensure that the ladder is on stable ground and that the top is securely positioned against the surface to prevent slipping. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for specific ladder types.
How do you slope yard that is draining towards the house now?
This should've been done as the foundation of the house was being built. The ground needs to slope away from your house so that it provides as a water runoff away from your house. From a level base, a 10 to 20 degree slope is what you need to have the ground slope away from your house. This slope should be at a minimum distance of 1 meter to a max of 3 meters. The countour of the rest of your lawn shouldn't matter past this point.
Redirect water away from foundation of house?
Slope dirt downward and away from foundation, extend downspouts and keep gutters clean, and in severe cases, install drainage ditches.
What is the safest angle a ladder should be placed when used?
The safest angle for placing a ladder is approximately 75 degrees from the ground. This can be achieved using the 4-to-1 rule: for every four feet of ladder height, the base should be one foot away from the wall or support. This angle helps ensure stability and reduces the risk of the ladder slipping or tipping over. Always make sure the ladder is on a stable surface and secure before climbing.
How do you divert water away from house from concrete slab patio sloped toward house?
Take the slab out and pour a new one with the right slope. Rent a concrete saw and cut a few grooves in it making the groove deeper away from the house. This will let the water drain off of the slap and away from the house. If the slab is separate from the house, you might be able to mud jack it at the house and raise it enough to slop it away from the house. Mud jacking is not terribly expensive.
