Hello! :)
To solve for the distance from the building, we can use the Pythagorean theorem where:
c = length of ladder (Hypotenuse)
a = height of window
b = distance from building
Plug in the given values into the equation c² = a² + b²
60² = 47² + b²
Simplify:
3600 = 2209 + b²
Subtract both sides by 2209:
1391 = b²
Square root both sides:
b = √1391 ≈37.296. The correct answer is C.

Answer:The answer is -3 and 3. You can do this by using a graphing calculator and plugging in the equation.
The area of the trapezoid would be 5/8 ft squared.
12z^2 - 7z -12/ 3z^2 + 2z - 8
= (4z+3) (3z -4)/ (z+2)(3z -4)
= (4z + 3) / (x+2)
