Answer:

A. in Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is factored correctly. Then separated into two smaller equations correctly. But in solving x + 10 = 0, there is an error.

x + 10 = 0

Add -10 to both sides.

x = -10

So, the error is in step 3.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

  11.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² + 10² = 15²

  d² = 225 -100 = 125

  d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet

The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building
