उत्तर

Let the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder be x m

In right-angled ΔABC, by using Pythagoras theorem, we get

BC2 = AB2 + AC2

⇒ (5.5)2 = x2 + (4.4)2

⇒ x2 = (5.5)2 – (4.4)2

⇒ x2 = 30.25 – 19.36

 ⇒ x2 = 10.89

⇒ x = `sqrt(10.89)`

  3.3

∴  x = 3.3 m

Hence, the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder is 3.3 m.
