Up to what height does the ladder reach the tree This will make shape of a right angled triangle, where Length of ladder = 13 ft = Hypotenuse distance of ladder from foot of the tree = 5 ft = Base find height upto which the ladder will reach = ? = Altitude By Pythagoras Theorem, Hypotenuse square = Base square + Altitude Square 13 Square = 5 Square + altitude square 169 = 25 + altitude square Subtract 25 from both sides and we get; 144 = altitude square Take square-root of both sides and we get; 12 = Altitude Hope this will help you List of Solved Algebra Problems Write expanded form of 78, 129, 93 lita has 5 stamps more than twice the number of adels stamps.
