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.
What instrument measures the distance between your house and the grocery store?
I would use a odometer or a trundle wheel
Explain surd to me as mathematics topic?
Surds are based on roots. Root 8 can be split into root 4 and root 2; as there's a root to 4, get that number, and multiply it by the remaining root. So root 8 = 2 root 2. Root 40 would be 2 root 10 Root 48 would be root 4, root 4, root 3 Root 48 = 4 root 3.
How tall is a house when a piece of wire 16 feet long is strung from the top of the side of a house to the ground. The distance from the base of the house to where the wire meets the ground is 9 feet?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the height of the house is 5 times the square root of 7 or about 13.229 feet rounded to three decimal place
