Answer:

  11.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² + 10² = 15²

  d² = 225 -100 = 125

  d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet

The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building

A right triangle has one leg with unknown length, the other leg with length of 5 m, and the hypotenuse with length 13 times sqrt 5 m.

We can use the Pythagorean formula to find the other leg of the right triangle.

a²+b²=c²

Where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

According to the given problem,

one leg: a= 5m and hypotenuse: c=13√5 m.

So, we can plug in these values in the above equation to get the value of unknown side:b. Hence,

5²+b²=(13√5)²

25 + b² = 13²*(√5)²

25 + b² = 169* 5

25+ b² = 845

25 + b² - 25 = 845 - 25

b² = 820

b =√ 820

b = √(4*205)

b = √4 *√205

b = 2√205

b= 2* 14.32

b = 28.64

So, b= 28.6 (Rounded to one decimal place)

Hence, the exact length of the unknown leg is 2√205m or 28.6 m (approximately).
