A ladder rests against a wall. The top of the ladder touches the wall at height 1212 metres. The length of the ladder is 44 metres longer than the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall. Find the length of the ladder.

The value of length of the ladder = 16714.54 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Δ ABC

AB = Height of the wall = 1212 m

AC = Length of the ladder = ( 44 + x ) m

BC = x

From Pytha gores theorem

Length of the ladder = AC = 44 + x

Length of the ladder = AC = 44 + 16670.54 = 16714.54 m

This is the value of length of the ladder.

m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠1   is true.

m∠5 + m∠6 = 180 is true

m∠2 +m∠3 = m∠6   is true

m∠2 +m∠3 +m∠5 = 180   is true

x = 12

y = 1
