Question

Clayton is building a slide for his kids. If the ladder is 6 feet tall and he wants the bottom of the slide to be 4 feet from the ladder, how long does the slide need to be? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

a²+b²=c² is the equation. You are trying to solve for c in this case.

4²+6²=c²

16+36=c²

52=c² Take the square root of both sides√

√52=c

c=7.2 ft

Answer 2

side "a"=4

" b=6

As long as the ladder is at 90° we will use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2.

So; 16+36=52^.5=7.2111..............ft
