To find how far the base of the ladder is from the building, we can use the properties of a right triangle. With a 45-degree angle, the height at which the ladder touches the building is equal to the distance from the building to the base of the ladder. Therefore, using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the wall is approximately 10 feet.

A painter is standing at the base of a ladder that is leaning against the side of a house. What angle do the ladder and the house form?

The angle formed between the ladder and the house is typically a right angle (90 degrees) if the ladder is resting against the wall of the house. This assumes that the base of the ladder is on the ground and the wall is vertical. If the ladder is leaning at an angle, the specific angle would depend on how far the base of the ladder is from the wall and its height against the wall.


A ladder leaning against a wall makes a 60 degree angle with the ground When is it more likely to slip when a person stands on the ladder near the top or near the bottom Explain?

near the bottom.because the net force is equal to zero


A ladder is leaning against a wall If the angle is between the ground and the ladder at 60 degrees and the wall is 4m how long is the ladder Give exact values?

If the angle between the ladder and the ground is 60 deg, and you know the angle between the ground and the wall is 90 deg, then you have a 30-60-90 degree triangle, which is a common triangle. You should memorize this one. The commonest sides of this right triangle are 4-5-6, with the longest side being the hypoteneuse, in this case the ladder leaning from the ground to the wall. The wall is 4m high, the base of the ladder would be 5m out from the wall, and the length of the ladder is 6m.

Is ladder leaning with wall in equilibrium?

No, a ladder leaning against a wall is not in equilibrium. Equilibrium would occur if the forces acting on the ladder were balanced, but in reality, the ladder is subject to gravitational force and may slide or topple over if not properly stabilized.

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.
