A 25m long ladder is rested on a wall. The foot of the ladder is 7m away from the wall. If the end of the ladder (resting on the wall) slides down 4m, then how far will its foot move away?

  • 5 m

  • 8 m

  • 9 m

  • 9 m


B.

8 m



In increment ABC
   left parenthesis AB right parenthesis squared space equals space left parenthesis BC right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis AC right parenthesis squared
left parenthesis 25 right parenthesis squared space equals space left parenthesis 7 right parenthesis squared plus AC squared
625 space equals space 49 space plus space AC squared
AC squared space equals space 576
AC space equals space 24 space straight m
So, the height of ladder from ground  = 24 m
When, the end of the ladder slides down 4 m, then
The height of ladder from ground = 24 - 4 = 20 m
In increment ABC comma
left parenthesis AB right parenthesis squared space equals space AC squared plus BC squared
left parenthesis 25 right parenthesis squared space equals space left parenthesis 20 right parenthesis squared plus BC squared
625 space equals space 400 space plus space BC squared
BC squared space equals space 225
BC space equals 15 space straight m
therefore The foot of ladder will move away = 15 - 7 = 8 m
