Austin asked Jeremy how far from the building the base of the ladder was. Jeremy did the problem and showed his work below. Aust
in thinks you should find c, the hypotenuse whereas Jeremy thinks you should find b. Find the distance between the ladder and house. Round to the nearest tenth if possible.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
Point B has been dilated to form point B'.
B(3, 1) → B'(6, 2)
→ B'[(2 × 3), (2 × 1)]
Since rule for the dilation of a point (x, y) by a factor of k is,
B(x, y) → B'(kx, ky)
By comparing the coordinates k = 2 is the scale factor by which the point B has been dilated about the origin.
Therefore, other vertices of the quadrilateral will be,
A(-2, 3) → A'(-4, 6)
C(1, -1) → C'(2, -2)
D(-3, -2) → D'(-6, -4)
slope m = - 2 → B
calculate m using the ' gradient formula '
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
choosing 2 'clear ' coordinates from the graph of the line
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (7, - 5) =
= - 2
m =
