22 foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall of building with the bottom of the ladder standing on level ground 9 feet from the base of the building how high up the wall does the ladder reach

20.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using the Pythagoras Theorem

The Pythagoras Theorem =

Opposite² + Adjacent ² = Hypotenuse²

From the above question,

Opposite side = Height of the wall = x

Adjacent side = Distance from the base of the building = 9 feet

Hypotenuse = Length of the ladder = 22 feet

Hence:

x² + 9² = 22²

x² = 22² - 9²

x = √22² - 9²

x = √403

x = 20.0748599 feet

Approximately = 20.1 feet

Therefore, the height of the wall = 20.1 feet

step-by-step explanation:

an equation by definition has to have two or more variables (x and 2 in this case)

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
