The height of the wall from the question is 13.27ft

Pythagoras theorem

The theorem states that the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.

From the given question

Hypotenuse (ladder length) = 15ft

Adjacent = 7feet

Required

Height of the wall H

According to the theorem

15² = 7² + H²

H² = 225 - 49

H² = 176

H = 13.27feet

Hence the height of the wall from the question is 13.27ft
