Question

Can some show the steps and the answer please I really need help tell me how you get it and the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

if you use the 10 feet ladder base is 6 feet

if you use 12 feet ladder base is 8.94 feet

if you use 15 feet ladder base is 12.69 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

you know the ladder length so you know the hypotenuse

you can use a^2 + b^2= c^2

for example you use the 10 feet ladder

8^2+b^2 = 10^2

64 + b^2 = 100

subtract 64 from both sides

b^2=36

to get rid of the exponent find square root

b= 6

you can plug in the different values like 15 or 12
