A ladder is placed against a wall such that its foot is at a distance of 2.5 m from the and its top reaches a window 6 m about ground. Find the length of the ladder. Correct Answer 6.5 m

Let, AB be the ladder and AC be the Wall From Pythagoras theorem, we get, AB2 = BC2 + AC2 = (2.5)2 + (6)2 = 6.25 + 36 = 42.25⇒AB = 42.25.'.AB = 6.5The length of the ladder  = 6.5m
