Aladder is needed to reach the top of a 60 foot building. if the base of the ladder is to be placed 11 feet from the building how long must the ladder be

Hello!

If the ladder is placed 11 feet from the building, it will be slanted. The building, ground, and ladder will create a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the ladder (the hypotenuse). We will use a²+b²=c², where a and b are the building and ground, while c is the ladder.

60²+11²=c²

3600+121=√3721

√3721=61

Therefore, our ladder must be 61 feet long.

I hope this helps!

he sells x mount because thats eqivilqant to the maz and then divided into quarters

step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
