Answer:
31.2
Step-by-step explanation:

Again using the Pythagorean Theorem:
h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and x and y are the side lengths. You are given that the hypotenuse is 34 ft and the base side is 16ft. Let h=34, x=16, and y=height, then you have:
34^2=16^2+y^2
y^2=34^2-16^2
y^2=1156-256
y^2=900
y=√900
y=30 ft
So the ladder will reach a spot 30 feet high on the building.
A is the correct choice.
This is based on the vertical line test. If you were to draw an imaginary vertical line on the graph, it would only intersect the graph at one point, which proves that all x values are different (a function).
