Use the pythagorean theorem.

The foot of the ladder is 4 feet away from the building (leg 1)

The height of the building is leg 2

The ladder, which would be at an angle, is 12 feet. So our hypotenuse would be 12. The equation for this would be a²+4²=12²

We can then begin to solve

a² + 16 = 144  

a² = 128

a=11.31

So, our answer is: The top of the ladder reaches the building at 11.31 feet up

Which of the following ordered pairs represents the solution to the system given below?
denpristay [2]

x − 3y = 12
<span>2x + 6y = 60</span>

<span>x=12+3y</span>

<span>2(12+3y)+6y=60</span>

<span>24+6y+6y=60</span>

<span>24+12y=60</span>

<span>12y=60-24</span>

<span>12y=36</span>

<span>y=36/12</span>

<span>y=3</span>

<span>and since the only answer you have with y being 3 is 21,3 the answer is D.(21,3)</span>
