Problem Solving with the Pythagorean Theorem For #s 1-4 draw a picture to represent each situation. Show all work. 1. The foot of a ladder is placed 6 feet from a wall. If the top of the ladder rests 8 feet up on the wall, how long is the ladder? (draw a picture) 2. Laptop screen sizes are determined by the length of the diagonal portion of the screen, rounded to the nearest whole number. A laptop has a 10-inch width and the height measures 8 inches. Calculate the screen size. 3. A ramp is placed from a ditch to a main road 2 feet above the ditch. If the length of the ramp is 12 feet, how far away is the bottom of the ramp from the road? 4. A baseball diamond is a square with sides of 90 feet. What is the shortest distance, to the nearest tenth of a foot, between first base and third base?
