Question
The wall is 12 m tall, and the end of a ladder is 7 m from the base of the wall. About what slope does the ladder have?
- 5
Hint:
In this question, we have to find the slope of ladder if the height of the wall is 12m and the horizontal distance between the wall and the ladder is 7m. Slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to run. So, using the formula of slope = rise/ run.
The correct answer is:
Slope = rise/run
Height of wall = rise = 12m
Horizontal distance = run = 7m
Slope = 12/7
Hence, the slope of ladder = 12/7.

If l || m then find the measures of x and y?
In this question we have to find x and y given that l is parallel to m and t is the transversal. First to find x we can use linear pair as we know that the sum of angles which are in linear pair is 180 deg. Next to find y we can use the theorem alternate exterior angles are equal.
