Dedicated 62673

The street lamp is 5.5 m high. It suddenly stopped shining. How long do ladders need workers if they know that dedicated lamps can be placed at a distance of 18 dm at the bottom?

Correct answer:

c =  5.7871 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a=5.5 m b=18 dm m=18:10  m=1.8 m  c2 = a2 + b2  c=a2+b2=5.52+1.82=5.7871 m
