Question

A 26-foot ladder is placed against a house and reaches the 24-foot roof. If you want to find the distance between the base of the ladder and the base of the house, which of the following triangles could you use to model the problem?

Answer 1

Replace the "24 ft" with 26 ft and the "26 ft" with 24 and that is what your answer should look like.
