Answer:

6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall forms a right angle that is across from the ladder, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the value of 'x':

a² + b² = c², where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the diagonal or hypotenuse.  

Using 8 for 'a' and 10 for 'c':

8² + x² = 10²

64 + x² = 100

Subtract 64 from both sides:

64 - 64 + x² = 100 - 64 or x² = 36

Take the square root of both sides:

√x² = √36

x = 6 ft

180 product of a prime factor using indices
zvonat [6]
Start with 180. 
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>

<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>

<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>

<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>

<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>

<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>

<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>
