Well think the answer is x = 14/9 but I don't think there is a full number for this equation.
Answer:
x=50
Step-by-step explanation:
5*10 = 50
The distance between the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.
<h3>What is the Pythagorean theorem?</h3>
It states that in the right-angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.
As we can see in the figure the length of the ladder is 20 ft and the base of the ladder is 10 ft from the base of the building.
By using the Pythagorean theorem we will calculate the distance between the tip of the ladder and the base of the building.
H² = 20² - 10²
H²= 400 - 300
H² = 300
H = √300
H = 17.32 ft.
Therefore the distance between the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

Sounds as tho' you have an isosceles triangle (a triangle with 2 equal sides). If this triangle is also a right triangle (with one 90-degree angle), then the side lengths MUST satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.
Let's see whether they do.
8^2 + 8^2 = 11^2 ???
64 + 64 = 121? NO. This is not a right triangle.
If you really do have 2 sides that are both of length 8, and you really do have a right triangle, then:
8^2 + 8^2 = d^2, where d=hypotenuse. Then 64+64 = d^2, and
d = sqrt(128) = sqrt(8*16) = 4sqrt(8) = 4*2*sqrt(2) = 8sqrt(2) = 11.3.
11 is close to 11.3, but still, this triangle cannot really have 2 sides of length 8 and one side of length 11.
