Question

A 50 feet ladder is placed 35 feet away from a wall. The distance from the ground straight up to the top of the wall is 60 feet. Check whether the ladder reachesthe top of the wall.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The wall straight up is one of the legs of the triangle. That makes the hypotenuse the ladder which is 50 feet. The hypotenuse needs to be the longest side, but the height of the wall is the longest, so the ladder will not reach the top.
