A ladder of length 5m rests against a wall The foot of the ladder is 1.7m from the base of the wall How far up the wall does the ladder reach?
6.7
A ladder is resting against a wall The top of the ladder touches the wall at a height of 6 feet Find the length of the ladder if the length is 2 feet more than its distance from the wall?
10 feet, and it is at a very dangerous angle.
How far up a wall does a ladder reach that is 26 feet long and 10 feet from the base of a wall?
Regard the ladder as the hypotenuse and the distance from the wall as one leg of a right angled triangle. Then, 262 = 102 + H2 : where H is the height reached up the wall by the ladder. H2 = 676 - 100 = 576 : H = √576 = 24
A ladder is resting against a wall the top of the ladder touches the wall at a height of 18 feet find the length of the ladder if the length is 6 feet more than its distance from th wall?
24
8 foot ladder how far from the wall should you place the base of the ladder?
It should be placed 2 ft from the wall

What is 4 to 1 ratio for ladder use?
That probably refers to the ratio between the length of the ladder, and the distance at which you place the bottom part of the ladder from the wall. If this distance is too short, you have the risk of the ladder falling backwards.

A ladder 3m long leans against a wall reaches 2m up the wall What is the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall?
If you are asking, what's the distance (x) from the bottom of the ladder to the wall, then... x squared + 2 squared = 3 squared x squared + 4 = 9 x squared = 5 x = the square root of 5, or approx 2.24 m
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.
When A 12-foot extension ladder is placed against a wall To achieve the proper climbing angle approximately how far should the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the wall?
You may set the correct distance by trying different angles so that you feel confortable when climbing the ladder. Approximately between 80 to 130 cm. But it is the correct angle that can tell you the adequate distance from the wall. Only by climbing a ladder you know it. I advise you to put a piece of rubber under the ladder so that it can't slip.
How far up a wall does a ladder reach that is 26 feet long and 10 feet from the base of a wall?
Regard the ladder as the hypotenuse and the distance from the wall as one leg of a right angled triangle. Then, 262 = 102 + H2 : where H is the height reached up the wall by the ladder. H2 = 676 - 100 = 576 : H = √576 = 24
What is the height of ladder which is leaning at 60 degree from the wall and separated with a distance of 4.2cm from the wall?
cos60=4.2cm/x x=4.2cm/cos60 x=8.4cm Therefore the height of the ladder is 8.4cm. However, i think you mean meters because that is a very tiny ladder lol.
What is the answer to A ladder 15 feet long leans against a wall and forms an angle of 45 degrees with the ground how far from the wall is the ladder?
Assuming the wall is vertical, the wall, the ground and the ladder form an isosceles right-angled triangle. Pythagoras tells us that the square of the length of the ladder, in this case 225 equals the sum of the squares of the other two lengths, ie the height where the ladder touches the wall and the bottom of the ladder's distance from the wall. As these distances are equal in an isosceles triangle each must be the square root of (225/2) ie sqrt 112.5 which is 10.6066, as near as makes no difference to 10 ft 71/4 inches
A 13 foot ladder is leaning against the top of a wall so that the base is 5 feet from the base of the wall What is the height of the wall from the ground?
18
Two ladders of lengths 8m and 10m are leaning two walls. three point of intersection is 3m above the ground What is the distance between the walls?
For the ladder with the length of 8m 8.37m from the wall For the ladder with the length of 10m 10.44m from the wall
