Answer:
4.5m
Step-by-step explanation:
The set up is a right angles triangle
Height of the shed = opposite side = 6cm
Distance of the ladder from the shed = adjacent = 4.5m
Lenght of the ladder = Hypotenuse = x
Using pythegoras theorem to find the length of the ladder
hyp² = opp²+adj²
hyp² = 0.06² + 4.5²
hyp²= 0.0036+20.25
hyp² = 20.2536
hyp = √20.2536
hyp = 4.50m
Hence the length of the ladder is 4.5m
