Question
A fence 6 feet tall runs parallel to a tall building at a distance of 3 ft from the building as shown in the
diagram.
LADDER
6 ft
3 ft
We wish to find the length of the shortest ladder that will reach from the ground over the fence to the wall
of the building.
[A] First, find a formula for the length of the ladder in terms of 0. (Hint: split the ladder into 2 parts.)
Type theta for 0.
L(0) =
[B] Now, find the derivative, L'(0).
Type theta for 0.
L'(0) =
[C] Once you find the value of 0 that makes L'(0) = 0, substitute that into your original function to find
the length of the shortest ladder. (Give your answer accurate to 5 decimal places.)
