You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the ladder is 6 feet high and 8 feet away from the wall what is tyhe length of the ladder?
--------------------
Draw the picture.
You have a right triangle with base = 8 ft and height of
the top of the ladder is 6 ft up the wall.
----
hypotenuse = length of the ladder:
h = sqrt(8^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(64 + 36) = sqrt(100) = 10 ft
---------
length of the ladder = 10 ft.
