It’s 1 foot because of the ladder is 10 foot tall and it hits the wall 9 foot up it will be 10-9=1

1 foot because it’s already 10 up and if it hits the 9 foot than it’s one inch apart. Answer:1 foot

Answer:

$x = 27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A and angle E are the same value, therefore you could replace angle E with angle A. So that would make a triangle with angle C, angle D, and angle A. Knowing the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, we can make an equation representing this.

$3x - 10 + 2x + 10 + 45 = 180$
