Answer:
23.24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c², where a and b are legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
In this situation, the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the distance from the base of the building is the long leg.
Plug in the ladder length as c and plug in the distance from the base of the building as a:
a² + b² = c²
(6²) + b² = (24)²
36 + b² = 576
b² = 540
b = 23.24
So, the ladder reaches approximately 23.24 feet up the wall
Answer:
2½
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the Least Common Denominator [LCD], which is 6, then convert 5⅙:
5⅙ → 4 7⁄6

You see, we regrouped 1 from 5⅙ to make sure that the top mixed number had a higher value than the bottom mixed number, so it is much easier to work with.
