Answer:
=14.2
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
21 ^2 + x ^2 = 35^2
= 28
28 + 4 = 32
The side with 21 then becomes the new x
x/a =
=14.2
The height of the house that can be ladder reached now will be 14.18 feet.
The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.
The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as
H² = P² + B²
A 35-foot ladder is set against the side of the house so it reaches up 21 feet.
Then the base length will be
35² = 21² + b²
1225 = 441 + b²
b² = 784
b = 28 feet
If the ladder is at its base and pulls it 4 feet farther from the house.
Then the height of the house that can be ladder reach now will be
35² = 32² + h²
1225 = 1024+ h²
h² = 201
h = 14.18 feet
