उत्तर
Let the length of the ladder be x m.
In right angled ΔABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ...[By Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ (x)2 = (8)2 + (6)2
⇒ `sqrt((8)^2 + (6)^2)` = `sqrt(64 + 36)` = `sqrt(100)`
⇒ x = 10 m
Hence, the length of the ladder is 10 m.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
