Answer:

24 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of ladder=26 foot

Height of building=10 foot

We have to find the distance between the bottom of ladder and the bottom of building.

Pythagorus theorem:

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular\;side)^2

We have hypotenuse =AC=26 foot

Perpendicular side =AB=10 foot

Base=BC

Substitute the values in the given formula

(26)^2=(10)^2+(BC)^2

676=100+(BC)^2

(BC)^2=676-100=576

BC=\sqrt{576}=24 (Take positive because length is always positive)

BC=24 foot

Hence, the bottom of the ladder will be 24 foot  from the bottom of the building.
