Answer:

15 ft

Explanation:

We can represent the situation with the following figure

Therefore, the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed, where the legs are 12 ft and 9 ft. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of the ladder as

\begin{gathered} Ladder=\sqrt{12^2+9^2} \\ Ladder=\sqrt{144+81} \\ Ladder=\sqrt{225} \\ Ladder=15 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the length of the ladder is 15 ft

Answer:

Step 3  they took the square root incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x-2)^2 +6 = 86

Subtract 6 from each side

5 ( x-2)^2 +6 -6= 86-6

5 ( x-2)^2  = 80

Divide each side by 5

5 ( x-2)^2  /5 = 80/5

(x-2)^2 = 16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2)  = ±sqrt(16)

x-2 = ±4
