How long must a ladder be if it is to be leaned against a house at a point 9 feet above the ground resting at least 3 feet from the bottom edge of the wall?
This describes a right triangle. This triangle has a base (X ) of 3 ft, a opposite side ( Y) of 9 ft. So, you are looking for the hypothenuse. Use the Pythagoreum theory. In this case. Your ladder length is called H. H^2 = X^2 + Y^2 H = sqrt X^2 + Y^2
How many feet from the base must a 39-foot ladder be placed so that the top of the ladder will reach a point on the house 36 feet from the ground?
Well, using a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse, you need to square 39 and 36. Then your equation should look like a^2 +1296 = 1521, then solve for a^2, getting the variable by itself, so you have a^2 = 225. Then take the square root of both sides leaving you with a= 15. So, the ladder must be placed 15 feet from the base of the house.
How fast does the rotation of a tornado have to be to damage a house?
If it's enough to be classified as a tornado, it will damage your house. Generally, winds in excess of 60 mph are considered sufficient to cause visible damage, though at this point it will be superficial unless a tree falls on ths house.

How you can relate Pythagoras theorem in real life?
Suppose you want to get from your house, located on the south-west corner of a field (rectangular shaped), to your friend's house, located in the north-east corner of the field. You can follow a road 4 miles East then 5 miles North for a total of 9 miles. You want to know how far it would be to get to your friend's house if you walked across the field. By pythagoras's theorem you know the distance from your house to your friend's house is sqrt(4^2+5^2)=6 miles. So going across the field saves 3 miles. that's your answer please ask another question we know everything

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?
It can be any angle that is more than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees. <><><> It will be an ACUTE angle, and if the ladder is placed properly (1 ft out for each 4 ft up) the angle between wall and ladder will be ABOUT 18 degrees.

If a 25 foot ladder is leaning against a housemand it has a base of 9 feet from the house. The ladder is moved 6 more feet from the house how far will the ladder slide down the house?
By Pythagoras, if the initial height of the ladder is H1 feet, then 252 = H12 + 92 so H12 = 252 - 92 = 544 so that H1 = 23.32 ft. After the move, the base of the ladder is 15 ft from the wall. If the height now is H2 feet, then 252 = H22 + 152 so H22 = 252 - 152 = 400 so that H2 = 20 ft. So the ladder will slide down 3.32 ft or 3 ft 3.9 inches, approx.
