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
since it starts at 62 and finishes at 150 u can find out that the increase in temp is 150F and since it increases by 8 every minute u can come to find that the increase in temp (150) divided by the amount it increases 8 is 18.75 which is the amount of minutes it took
.
and in second brackets common is 5:
