This creates a right triangle. One leg of the triangle is 25 feet and the other is 10 feet. To find the length of the ladder, we must use Pythagorean theorem.
a = 25
b = 10
c = ?
(25)^2 + (10)^2 = c^2. Square all the terms to the left of the equation and add them together.
725 = c^2. Take the square root of each side.
c = 26.93 feet.
The ladder needs to be 26.93 feet tall.

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
Explanation:
An exponential function is of the form
, where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.
For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.
The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063. Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.
We use t as the number of years.
This gives us
