Answer:
The wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of the ladder leaning against wall (Hypotenuse) = 20 foot.
Height from where the window is above from the ground (Leg1) = 17 feet.
To find the distance of the bottom of the ladder far from the wall (Leg2) = ?
Now, by using the pythagorean theorem:
by squaring both sides
10.535 foot rounded nearest tenth is 10.5 foot.
Therefore, the wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.
