Question
The slide at the playground has a height of 6 feet. The base of the slide measured on the ground is 8 feet. The length of the slide is?
- 8 feet
- 5.29 feet
- 10 feet
- 14 feet
Hint:
According to the question the triangle formed is right angled triangle. As the angle formed by wall and ground is 90 degree. So, we get, hypotenuse, length of the slide assuming to be h , base, base of the slide is 8 feet and perpendicular, the height of the slide is 6 feet. Further using Pythagoras theorem we can find the length of the required side of the triangle formed.
The correct answer is: 10 feet
According to the question the triangle formed is right angled triangle.
So, hypotenuse, length of the slide = h
base, base of the slide = 8 feet
perpendicular, the height of the slide = 6 feet
Now using Pythagoras theorem,
The length of the slide is 10 feet.
