<h3>
Answer: Choice D. 4^2+5^2 = x^2</h3>
See note at the bottom
========================================================
The entire building is 20 feet. Fifteen feet of that is from the ground to the first landing of the stairs or fire escape. So 20-15 = 5 feet represents the height of the second set of stairs (leading to the roof of the building)
The base of the triangle is 4 feet as shown in the diagram. The height is 5 feet as found in the prior paragraph. Use the pythagorean theorem to say
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
4^2 + 5^2 = x^2
Note: If you meant to write 4^2+5^2 = x^2 for choice D, then that would be the answer. Otherwise, there is a typo somewhere.
The answer would be:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3...
... If you mean what I'm thinking.

Answer:
It helps because it gets you thinking. Personally, it would motivate me because that process itself is very helpful.
