7 pillars are used to hold a slant iron ladder as shown in the figure. If the distance between every two pillars is 1 m and height of the last piller is 10.5 m. Find the height of pillar.

Given, Distance between every two pillars = 1 m


Height of the last pillar = 10.5 m


Number of pillars used to hold a slant iron ladder = 7


Distance between the tip of ladder on floor to the last pillar = 71 = 7 cm


Height of last pillar = 10.5 cm


Formula Used:


Pythagoras Theorem:



Length of slant ladder =


=


=


= 12.619 cm (ans)
