Multiple choice

A ladder 8 feet long leans against a wall. If the base of the ladder is 3 feet from the wall, how high up the wall does the ladder reach?

  1. 4 feet

  2. 5 feet

  3. 6 feet

  4. 7 feet
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The ladder, the wall, and the ground form a right triangle. The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of this triangle. The distance from the base of the ladder to the wall is the adjacent side. The height of the ladder up the wall is the opposite side. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the height of the ladder: √(8^2 - 3^2) = 5 feet.
