Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to solve for how high the top of the ladder reach.
The formula says a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where a and b are the two legs and C is the hypotenuse.
In this situation, the hypotenuse will be length of the ladder , and either a or b will be the length of the ladder from the building or the length of how long the ladder.
a will be 3 , and c will be 20. Input in the values into the formula and solve for b.
To solve this, we need to add 4/5 and 2/3. To do this, we need to find the LCM of 5 and 3. The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15. Now, we multiply 4/5 by 3/3. That gets us 12/15. Now, we multiply 2/3 by 5/5. That gets us 10/15. Now, we add 12/15 and 10/15 (don't add the bottom numbers). This gets us 22/15 quarts of water.
