▼

- The diagram shows a right triangle formed by the fire truck, the building, and the ladder.
- Side 'a' is the horizontal distance from the fire truck to the building.
- Side 'b' is the vertical height from the ground to the window on fire.
- Side 'c' is the length of the ladder (hypotenuse).
- To find any missing side, use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c².
- If two sides are known, solve for the third using this formula.
- For example, if a = 6 meters and b = 8 meters, then c = √(6² + 8²) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10 meters.
