This is the best I could get working on geogebra. I know that they need to change at the same time its not working out the best. I know what I need to do for it to work but not sure how to on geogebra

I think it would be moving at 1 foot per second, but idk if it's the same with this problem or not.

# data[].attributes.body
This is what I'm thinking of

I made a physical model. I'm not sure that it worked very well because I couldn't take very exact measurements and I got kind of confusing answers.

Photo: Ladder when the bottom of the ladder is 5ft away from the wall.
Observations: Every foot the bottom of the ladder moved away from the wall, the top of the ladder only moved down about 1/3 of an inch each time.

1. How do we know how far away the ladder is from the wall to begin with?
2. Would the top of the ladder's movement be calculated differently than the bottom? Does it have something to do with slope?
3. How can we put this into an equation to graph it or solve it algebraically? Do we need to graph it in order to solve it?

1. Would the starting angle of the ladder against the wall affect this problem?
2. Can we assume the starting angle?
3. How can I turn this into an equation?

# data[].attributes.body
At first I was thinking
1. Why would the rate of change/ the slope even change? why wouldn't it stay at 1 foot per second
2. then I was wondering if it had something to do with exponential rates?
3. then I realized that there are two rates that change in accordance to each other, ie related rates

# data[].attributes.body
1. Does this have any relation to trig?
2. The ladder has more factors than just a straight line so does that effect the ability to look at each interval as a triangle compromised?
3. Can we use the formula for velocity to help solve this?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Can this be solved with physics and/or calculus(how)?
2. What is the acceleration downwards and away from the wall of the ladder?
3. Can we use triangles to find the rates?

# data[].attributes.body
Can the properties of right triangles be applied to help solve the problem?
Is the starting angle essential to solving the problem?
Why isn't the rate of change equivalent at the top and bottom of the ladder?

# data[].attributes.body
How far away from the wall is the ladder to begin with?
Could trig help us solve this problem?
Is there a way to solve this graphically?
