A ladder is resting against a wall. the foot of the ladder is 8 feet from the wall, and the top of the ladder is 19 feet from the ground. FIND THE slope of the ladder

Answer 1

without either the length of the ladder or the height of the wall, there's no way to tell.

If the top of the ladder is directly above a point x feet from the base of the wall of height h, all we know is that

h/8 = 19/(x+8)
