Can i get on this a ladder is put against a wall of 8m high. if the foot of the ladder from the wall is 6m what is the length of ladder ( draw diagram).

Hello!

I've attached the diagram.

For this problem, since you have a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to fine the length of the ladder (the hypotenuse of the triangle).

Pythagorean Theorem (where c is the hypotenuse):
a² + b² = c²

The triangle's leg lengths are 8 and 6; substitute into the theorem:
8² + 6² = c²

Simplify:
64 + 36 = c²
100 = c²
10 = c

The length of the ladder is 10 m.
