Answer:
18.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.
-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.
-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:
C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2
C^2 = 289 + 49
C^2 = 338
C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!
Set up proportion 170/180=x/1 than cross multiply 170x=180 divide both sides by 170 answer 0.944 so 94% remains
11 < square root of 85 because that is 9.219...
