Marco would like to hang a banner over his shoe store. He has two ladders and would like to know how high above the ground each
ladder will allow him to place the banner. A 13- foot ladder leans against the building and touches it at a point that is 11.3 feet above the ground. what height would a 15-foot ladder touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground? Make a sketch and round your answer to the nearest tenth
13 divided by 11.3 is 1.150442477876106. So 15 by 1.150442477876106 and you get 13.03846162772485. Just round it to the nearest tenth and you get 13.0.
