Alex has locked himself out of his house! Thankfully, there is an upstairs window open, but he needs to use a ladder to try to g

et up to the window that is 10 feet high. If Alex leans a 10-foot ladder against the side of the house so that the bottom of the ladder rests 6 feet from the base of the building, how high up the house does the ladder reach? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

<h3>Answer: 8 feet</h3>

Explanation:

It might help to draw out what's going on. You should draw out a right triangle. We know a = 6 is one of the legs while b is the unknown leg. The hypotenuse is c = 10. Use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

36 + b^2 = 100

b^2 = 100-36

b^2 = 64

b = sqrt(64)

b = 8

The top of the ladder can reach 8 feet off the ground.

I think you would distribute what is in the parentheses and then make it so only a and b are on the left and i and the other characters that can be simplified are on the left but feel free to Google it.

Someone please help me !!!

Because this triangle is a right traingle and has one angel that is 45 degrees, the third angle must be 45 degrees to because 90+45+45=180. With that, km must be the same length as lm. we know lm is 5 so km is 5 too. No we can plug this into the Pythagorean Theorem too get

5^2+5^2=c^2

25+25=c^2

50=c^2

√50=√c^2

√25*2=c

5√2=c

Thats your answer to the length of lk.
