The distance between the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.
<h3>What is the Pythagorean theorem?</h3>
It states that in the right-angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.
As we can see in the figure the length of the ladder is 20 ft and the base of the ladder is 10 ft from the base of the building.
By using the Pythagorean theorem we will calculate the distance between the tip of the ladder and the base of the building.
H² = 20² - 10²
H²= 400 - 300
H² = 300
H = √300
H = 17.32 ft.
Therefore the distance between the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

Steve ran 11 miles
let the distance Steve ran be x
Then distance Kevin ran is x + 4 ( 4 miles more than Steve )
x + x + 4 = 26 ( the sum of their distance is 26 )
2x + 4 = 26 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11
Steve ran 11 mies and Kevin ran 11 + 4 = 15 miles
check 11 + 15 = 26
B. natasha,because what is 27-11? 16 and which one is higher 11 (stephen) or 16(natasha) hope this helps! :)
