Step-by-step explanation:
Can i Be mark as the brainliest answer PLEASE!
We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet
