I need help-


if a ladder is to reach a height of 5.6m, the base must be at least 1.4m from the wall. How long should the ladder be in order to meet this safety regulations?


Sagot :

Base x height divided by 2 I think this is correct

Answer:

  • ≈ 5.72 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean as the ladder is going to be a hypotenuse of a formed right triangle with legs of 5.6 m and 1.4 m

Ladder length:

  • √5.6² + 1.4² = √32.76 ≈ 5.72 m rounded
