Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. This is a right triangle where a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (c is the hypotenuse).
step 2. a^2 + 6^2 = 8^2.
step 3. a^2 = 64 - 36.
step 4. a^2 = 28.
step 5. a (the ladder height along the wall) = sqrt (28) where sqrt is the square root.
<u>step</u><u> </u><u>6</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>sqrt</u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>8</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>(</u><u>sqrt</u><u>(</u><u>7</u><u>)</u><u>)</u><u>.</u>
D 28 miles you want to multiply by 4 so 7x4 =28
Well,you have the answer on your paper already...
