Answer:
The top of the ladder is now at 10 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
At the start, we have a height H=6, a length L=10 and a base B, that has to be calculated by the Pythagorean theorem:
The base is moved twice the distance the height moves up.
We called this distance x, so we have:
The new height (H+x) is
The base travels 2x=8, so the new base B' is 0.
This means that the ladder is all against the wall (L=H').
