The ladder of length 13m was kept at a distance from a building to reach on a window on the building . At what height is the window from the ground ?
To find the height of the window from the ground, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (ladder in this case) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let's assume the height of the window from the ground is 'h'. The ladder acts as the hypotenuse, and its length is given as 13m. The distance between the ladder and the building can be considered as the base of the triangle.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
h^2 + b^2 = 13^2
Since we are looking for the height of the window, 'h', we need to rearrange the equation:
h^2 = 13^2 - b^2
Now we need to know the distance between the ladder and the building to solve for 'h'. If you have that information, substitute the value of 'b' into the equation and solve for 'h'.
Please provide the value of 'b' (distance between ladder and building) to proceed with the calculation.
