Well that is simple
Follow my steps
Given, a ladder 26 m long is resting against a vertical wall. The foot of the ladder is 10m away from the base of the wall.
Let Height of wall reached by ladder be x
So by Pythagorean theorem
Length of ladder^2 = Distance from base of wall^2 + Height of wall reached by ladder^2
So
Thus 24 is required answer
