If A painter leans a 34ft ladder against a building The base of the ladder is 16ft from the building To the nearest foot how high on the building does the ladder reach?

30 feet. And you don't have to round it to the nearest foot. It's exactly 30 feet.


A ladder rests against a wall the top of the ladder reaches 15 feet up the wall and makes an angle of 53 with the wall how long is the ladder?

If the wall is straight and the ground level then this is an outline of a right angle-triangle. If the top of the ladder makes an angle of 530 with the wall then the bottom of the ladder must make 370 to the ground. Use the sine ratio to find the length of the ladder (which will be the hypotenuse) sin = opp/hyp rearranged to hyp = opp/sin hyp = 15/sin370 = 24.92460212 feet So the length of the ladder is 25 feet correct to the nearest foot.


Ken leans a 12-foot ladder against his house He places the ladder so that the base is 5 feet from the house How far up the house does the ladder reach?

How long must a ladder be to reach the top of a 20 foot wall if the ladder and the wall form a 32 degree angle?

Hypotenuse = 20/sin580 = 23.58356807 Length of ladder: rounded to 23.584 feet


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?

Use Pythagoras h^(2) = H^(2) + b^(2) h(hypotenuse is the ladder length at 39 ft. H is wall height which is 36 ft. Substitute 39^(2) = 36^(2) + b^(2) Algebraically rearrange b^(2) = 39^(2) - 36^(2) b^(2) = ( 39 - 36)(39 + 36) b^(2) 3(75) b^(2) = 225 Square root BOTH sides b = 15 ft . The foot of the ladder should 15feet from the base of the house wall .

What size ladder do you use for a 2 storey building?

For a two-storey building, a ladder that is at least 24 feet long is typically recommended. This length provides enough reach to safely access the roof or upper windows, considering the height of each storey is usually around 10 to 12 feet. It's important to ensure the ladder is placed at a proper angle for stability and safety. Always follow local regulations and guidelines when selecting and using a ladder.

10,000 m


A 14 foot ladder is leaning against a building the ladder makes a 45 degree angle with the building how fa?

To find how far the base of the ladder is from the building, we can use the properties of a right triangle. With a 45-degree angle, the height at which the ladder touches the building is equal to the distance from the building to the base of the ladder. Therefore, using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the wall is approximately 10 feet.
