Answer:
You have a right triangle.
a^2+b^2=c^2
4^2+b^2=256
16+b^2=256
b^2=256-16
b^2=240
b=sqrt240
b=15.49 ft. ans. for the height of the ladder up the wall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:15.5
Step-by-step explanation:4^2 + h^2 = 16^2
h^2 = 256 - 16 = 240 = 16*15
h = 4 square root 15
h = 15.5
5/8
4y or 4 (divide)
