∙ 10y agowell, a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c is hypotenuse and a and b are either the adjacent or the opposite.
a^2 + 3^2 =5^2
a^2= 25 -9
a^2=16
a = 4
therefore the ladder reaches 4 meters high.

This question is where you use the Pythagorean Theorem. Go to http://en.wikipdedia.org/ and search for Pythagorean Theoremif you don't already remember what it is, and good luck.
Would there be a situation when you would estimate a difference?
Yes, there would. For example, how high a ladder do you need to reach the roof? Answer is the difference between the roof height and your reach.
