So basically the ladder is creating a right triangle with the ground and the wall. Ladder is the hypotenuse (h), building = b, ground = g
b = h - 22 ft
g = 1010 ft
use Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of h:
The h^2 terms cancel out to = 0
b = h - 22 ft
g = 1010 ft
use Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of h:
The h^2 terms cancel out to = 0
