The distance between the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean theorem?</h3>

It states that in the right-angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

As we can see in the figure the length of the ladder is 20 ft and the base of the ladder is 10 ft from the base of the building.

By using the Pythagorean theorem we will calculate the distance between the tip of the ladder and the base of the building.

H² = 20² - 10²

H²= 400 - 300

H² = 300

H = √300

H = 17.32 ft.

Therefore the distance between the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

erica [24]
Let's say that y is the weight of the mother and x is the weight of the baby.
We know that the baby is 7437 pounds less than the mother, which means you need to add 7437 pounds to the baby's weight to get the mother's.
We can show it like this:
x+7437=y.
We know what the baby's weight is (1400 lbs), so just sub it in:
1400+7437=y
y=8837 lbs
The mom weighs 8837 pounds.
