from the height of a wall if a ladder 10 metre long place along the wall and its foot is 2 metre away from the wall.

height of the wall = 9.79 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This form a right angled triangle.

Hypotenuse = length of the ladder = 10 m

Base = length from foot of ladder to wall.

Altitude = height of the wall

Pythagorean's theorem,

base² + altitude² = hypotenuse²

  2² +  altitude² = 10²

4 +  altitude² = 100

      altitude² = 100 - 4

      altitude² = 96

      altitude = √96 = 9.79 m

i think 1: 2
