Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the part of the ladder on the ground creates a right angle with the building where the base is 7 feet and the hypotenuse is 15 feet

we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the building

let 'b' = height of building

7² + b² = 15²

49 + b² = 225

b² = 176

b = \sqrt{176}

\sqrt{176} = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{4}\sqrt{11} = 2·2\sqrt{11}

b = 4\sqrt{11} which is approximately 13.3 feet
