Jane needs to fix a piece of broken siding on the side of her house. The top of the ladder is placed is 8 feet high above the ground and the base of the ladder will be
placed 6 feet away from the house.
What is the length of the ladder? Round to the nearest whole number.

The length of the ladder = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder placed on the Wall forms a right angle triangle

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

The top of the ladder = opposite

The base of the ladder = adjacent

The length of the ladder = hypotenuse

Opposite = 8 feet

Adjacent = 6 feet

Hypotenuse = ?

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

= 8² + 6²

= 64 + 36

= 100

Hypotenuse ² = 100

Hypotenuse = √100

Hypotenuse = 10 feet

The length of the ladder = 10 feet

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
