Do? I'd answer by saying that subtracting a negative quantity is equivalent to adding the magnitude of that quantity. For example, 2 - (-3) = 2 + 3 = 5.

A negative sign in front of another actually calls up addition.

A ladder is leaning against the side of a building and positioned such that the base of the ladder is 17 ft from the base of the

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of base = 17 feet

Length above the ground = 23 feet

These forms two legs of right angled triangle.

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(17)^2 + (23)^2 = c^2 \\289 + 529 = c^2 \\c^2 = 818$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{818}\\c=28.6$

Hence,

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.
