The distance between the building and the base of the ladder is 5√3 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

<u>Consider a right angle triangle</u>,

  • Hypotenuse = Paula leaned a 10 ft ladder against a building.
  • Height = the top of the ladder is exactly 5 feet up in the building.
  • Base = 'x' ft, distance between the building and the base of the ladder.

<u>From the Pythagorean theorem</u>,

Base, x = \sqrt{hypotenuse^{2}-height^{2}  }

⇒ x = \sqrt{10^{2} -5^{2} }

⇒ x = \sqrt{100-25}

⇒ x = \sqrt{75}

⇒ x = 5√3

The distance between the building and the base of the ladder is 5√3 feet.
