Question

8.

Frank the Fireman is putting out a fire in a building. The fire is located in a window 16 feet
from the base of the building. He sets his ladder 12 feet from the base of the building and
places the top of the ladder against the window. Approximately how long is the ladder?

Answer 1

4?

Explanation:

The building window is 16 feet up. From the bottom to the top is around 12 feet up. So, 16 feet up to the window - 12 feet away from the window = 4 feet? Sorry if I misunderstood.
