at the top of the ladder?


Sagot :

Answer:

38cm taller

Step-by-step explanation:

jack is 178cm tall

the ladder is 280cm tall

jack standing on the ladder is 280cm taller

so 178+280=458

the tree is 420cm tall

458>420

which means that jack is now taller than the tree standing in the ladder

458-420=38

so jack is 38cm taller than the tree standing on the top of the ladder
