How high is a wall if the ladder is 18 ft high and 14 ft from the house?
The bottom of the ladder is 14 feet from the house and the ladder is an 18 foot ladder that reaches to the top of the house. The question is how tall is the wall of the house? I reworded it to show some assumptions I made about what you are asking.If these are not true, let me knowSo the ladder, the wall of the house and the distance from the ground to the house form a right triangle with hypotenuse 18 and base 14.Now, 142 +x2 =182where x is the height of the wall.Solving for x we find x=(Square root (324-196)=Square root 228since 228 is 4x57 the answer is2(square root (57)57 is 3 x19 so it won't help to simplify it more.

Pete is standing 5 feet away from a mirror on the ground Pete is 4 feet tall and can just see the top of the tree from where he is standing The mirror is 15 feet away from the base of the tree How?
To find the height of the tree, we can use similar triangles. The ratio of Pete's height to his distance from the mirror is the same as the ratio of the tree's height to the distance from the mirror to the base of the tree. Set up and solve the proportion: 4/5 = x/15. Cross multiply and solve for x, which represents the height of the tree.
