Question

You lean a 13-foot ladder on a house so the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet from the house. From the top of the ladder, you can safely reach another 4 feet higher. Can you reach a window that is located 13 feet above the ground? Explain.

Answer 1

You can do 13 - 5 = 8 and then add the 4 feet which would be 12 so you would be one foot under the window and it should be safe to reach. :)

Answer 2

You can reach the window safely
