Question

What is the length of the ladder? It's 6 ft. from the house at the bottom and touches the wall 14 ft. up at the top. Simplify your answer

Answer 1

answer is 6 the reason I’m not sure I hope I helps

Answer 2

Base leg (b) = 6

Other leg (a) = 14

Hypotenuse (c) = c

plug this into the equation above and solve for c (taking the square root to solve) so:

142 + 62 = c2

232 = c2

15.23 = c (feet)

Hope this helps have a good day. :)
