can you help me with this probblem
ok the problem says the ladders below are standing against the wall at the same angle. how high up the wall does the longer ladder go?(all measures are in feet)
the picture has two ladders against a cube; one ladder is 30ft. and the other is 24ft. the one thats 30 ft. How hogh it is is is represented by X and the one that is 24 ft. How high up is 10 ft.There are four multiple choice answers...
a-11.25
b-12.5
c-14
d-26
im trying to find out if my method of solving this problem is correct. Well to start off i created a proportion 30/x=24/10 right and then i multiplied 10 by 30 to get 300 then i divided by 24 to get B-12.5 Is this the correct way of solving this problem :?:
