To hang lights up on his house.garrett place is a 14 foot ladder 4 feet from the base of the house. how high up the house will the ladder reach

13.42 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To hang lights up on his house.Garrett place is a 14 foot ladder 4 feet from the base of the house.

Since house is standing vertical to to ground making a right angles , so the triangle made by ladder must be a right triangle, where ladder is a hypotenuse.

Let h be the height of the house where the ladder reach.

By Pythagoras Theorem , we have

Hence, the height of the house where the ladder reach= 13.42 feet

Given: A triangle QRS

Solution: 1.The side opposite ∠Q is RS.→True

2.The side opposite ∠Q is RQ.→False

3.The hypotenuse is QR.→ False,as not given which kind of triangle it is , and if it is a right angled triangle which angle is of 90°.

4.The side adjacent to ∠R is SQ.→False ,There are two adjacent sides adjacent to ∠R which are QR and RS.

5.The side adjacent to ∠Q is QS.→True, but there is also another side adjacent to ∠Q which is QR.
