Math Ladders
Can you help me with this math question?
lennie leans a ladder against a vertical wall. the top of the ladder is 7ft. above the ground. when he moves the bottom of the ladder 1 foot farther away from the wall, the top of the ladder rests against the foot of the wall. What is the length of the ladder?
25 ft. If you want an explanation, it’s actually not too hard, but probably SUPER difficult to EXPLAIN through just words. Anyway, if you need one, just ask me and I’ll try.
I stand corrected–the people below have the explanations and all!
Oh, and I received a thumbs down…I think that’s because I initially tried to post saying it was a limits question. That was until I thought about it. Sorry for not thinking first.
