A ladder is leaning against a wall. The ladder is 5 metres long. The top of the ladder is 3 metres above the ground. The top of the ladder is sliding down at 8 metres/second. At what rate is the bottom of the ladder moving away from the wall?

it is moved away in .625 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

i did 5 divided by 8 though this question is weriod

Assuming the ladder is leaning against the wall and there are no spaces in between (that doesn't make sense sorry), it is still at a rate of 8 meters per second because it is standing straight up. It is moving at the same rate, since it is the same ladder.

175

step-by-step explanation:

2 inches x 10 miles = 200 miles - 3 inches = 175
