Answer:

Explanation:

1) The ladder is the hypotenuse.

2) a² + b² = c²

5² + 12² = c²

25 + 144 = c²

169 = c²

√169 = √c²

13 = c

The length of the ladde is 13ft.

3) Make the wall 17 ft (12 + 5)

5² + 17² = c²

25 + 289 = c²

314 = c²

√314 = √c²

17.72 = c

The lenght of the ladder is now 17.72 ft
