Answer:
24 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Length of ladder=26 foot
Height of building=10 foot
We have to find the distance between the bottom of ladder and the bottom of building.
Pythagorus theorem:
We have hypotenuse =AC=26 foot
Perpendicular side =AB=10 foot
Base=BC
Substitute the values in the given formula
(Take positive because length is always positive)
BC=24 foot
Hence, the bottom of the ladder will be 24 foot from the bottom of the building.
