Some basic formulas involving triangles
\ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \textrm{ cos } \alphaa 2 =b 2+2 + c 2
−2bc cos α
\ b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \textrm{ cos } \betab 2=
m_b^2 = \frac{1}{4}( 2a^2 + 2c^2 - b^2 )m b2 = 41(2a 2 + 2c 2-b 2)
b
Bisector formulas
\ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{m}{n} ba =nm
\ l^2 = ab - mnl 2=ab-mm
A = \frac{1}{2}a\cdot b = \frac{1}{2}c\cdot hA=
\ A = \sqrt{p(p - a)(p - b)(p - c)}A=
p(p−a)(p−b)(p−c)
\iits whatever A = prA=pr with r we denote the radius of the triangle inscribed circle
\ A = \frac{abc}{4R}A=
4R
abc
- R is the radius of the prescribed circle
\ A = \sqrt{p(p - a)(p - b)(p - c)}A=
p(p−a)(p−b)(p−c)

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.
