i'm just going to read

here, just look at this diagram but make these changes:

30 instead of 32
20 instead of 27
10 instead of X
X instead of 24

i'm sorry, i was just trying to get involved ,but i see i'm not doing much, can you be so kind as to explain what exactly you are doing

ECTHETIC, could you please stop posting pointless spam?

i'm sorry, i'll be out of your hair now

"you lost me on no"

"i'm still lost"

"I'm just going to read"

and

"interesting"

are not what I would consider active participation in trying to solve this problem.

I got it to a point where I can yet two separate equations for the ladders, but it will take me forever to make them equal and then solve... that was always my least favorite thing in math to do!

So ubertuna, do you actually have the answer?

no, I got this from one of my professors. I was able to figure out a way to get the ratio between the two similar triangles, but it is going to be trial and error finding the lengths that work.

here is the question, which I already posted earlier:

"There is an space between two buildings. The space is X units long. There are two ladders that are set up between the buildings. One ladder is 20 units long, the other is 30 units long. The ladders cross 10 feet above the ground.

Find X."

and here is the diagram which I found and the adjustments that need to be made to it:



30 instead of 32
20 instead of 27
10 instead of X
X instead of 24

Just make it 10, 20, and 30 (add a 0), and it is the same thing.

oh, disregard my last post. Some other users posted asking what the question was, but it appears that those posts have been deleted.
