Pythagorean theorem
for a right triangle with legs legnth a and b and hytponuse c
a^2+b^2=c^2
the legnht of th eladder is the hypotnuse
the 3 feet is bottom leg
height is other leg
10=c
3=a
b=?
3^2+b^2=10^2
9+b^2=100
minus 9 both sides
b^2=91
sqrt both sides
b=√91
aprox
b=9.53939
answer is √91 feet or aprox 9.53939
Well, AEB is 28, and CED is 65,and you want to add them, so that would be 65+28, which equals 80+13=93, so the answer is b.
