let x be the distance from the foot of the ladder to the wall and lket y be the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground. write an equation relating to x and y

Respuesta :

The equation which relates the x and y will be x² = 169 - y² according to the given triangle formed.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a closed, 2-dimensional shape with 3 sides, 3 angles, and 3 vertices.

Triangle is a very common figure to deal with our daily life for example in our daily life to measure the height of any tower then there is a huge application of the right angle triangle.

As per the given,

Length of ladder = 13 foot

By Pythagoras's theorem,

x² + y² = 13²

x² = 169 - y²

Hence "The equation which relates the x and y will be x² = 169 - y² according to the given triangle formed".
