That's the logarithmic form. Do you need with solving the equation too?
The quadratic formula is ![\frac{-b+-\sqrt[2]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B-b%2B-%5Csqrt%5B2%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
and in the equation ax^2+bx+c=0
so now all you have to do is substitute the numbers into the quadratic formula
Assuming the house is parallel to the ground, your triangle is made up by the house, the ground, and the ladder. Using sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse on the angle 70 degrees, you would have sin(70) = 20/x (because 20 is the side opposite of the angle connecting the ladder and the ground)
--> simplify sin(70) * x = 20 --> x = 20 / sin(70
--> substitute (and make sure your calculator in in degrees) x= 21. 284
22/22-12/22= 10/22
Which can be simplified as 5/11
