Answer:
As this is a right angled triangle, simply find the hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides
In formula > h²=a²+b²
We know the values of a and b.
Now simply put the values into the equation to find the answer :)
For 1, h²= 25² + 10²
h² = 625 + 100
=725
h=√(725)
=26.92 feet
Therefore height of ladder = 26.92 feet
For 2,
h²= 21²+20²
h²=441 + 400
h² = 841
h = √841
h = 29 feet
Heigh of ladder = 29 feet
