To find a volume of a cylinder we use the following formula:

Plug in the values:

Take the square:

Multiply the numbers:
Answer is 4/7
You divide the length of C'D' over the length of CD
C'D'/CD = 8/14 = 4/7
The scale factor is smaller than 1, so C'D' is shorter than CD
Well what you would have to do is look for numbers that are easy to divide. For example, lets try 9000/10, and so the answer would be 900 and so if you divide the actually numbers, you could compare them, and see if 900 would be a reasonable.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:

The ladder will reach approximately 14.14 feet (exactly 10√2 feet) up on the building.
