35. A hallway of width a = 5 ft meets a hallway of width b = 4 ft at a right angle. Find the length of the longest ladder that could be carried around the corner. (Hint: Express the length of the ladder as a function of the angle 0 in the figure.) а 36. In exercise 35, show that the maximum ladder length for general a and b equals (a²/3 + b2/3)3/2.
