The height of the building (h) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a = base of the building (13 feet), b = height of the building (h), and c = length of the ladder (38 feet).
Solving for b:
13^2 + h^2 = 38^2
169 + h^2 = 1444
h^2 = 1275
h ≈ √1275
h ≈ 35.7 feet
Therefore, the height of the building is approximately 35.7 feet.
