102−−−√+52=c2
; c = √125, which is an irrational number and must be estimated at 11.2 m.
square root of 10 squared end root plus 5 squared is equal to c squared ; c = √125, which is an irrational number and must be estimated at 11.2 m.

102+52=c2
; c = 125 m, which is a rational, whole number
10 squared plus 5 squared is equal to c squared ; c = 125 m, which is a rational, whole number

52+x2=102
; x = 75 m, which is a rational, whole number
5 squared plus x squared is equal to 10 squared ; x = 75 m, which is a rational, whole number

52+x2=102
; x = √75 m, which is an irrational number and would be estimated to be 8.7 m.

Answer 1

are you sure

Answer 2

5² + x² = 10²
25 + x² = 100
x² = 75
x = √75

The ladder will reach approximately 8.7 meters up the building.

Answer 3

I made a mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it:

5² + x² = 10²
25 + x² = 100
x² = 75
x = √75

Calculating the square root of 75, x is approximately equal to 8.7 meters.

Therefore, the ladder will reach approximately 8.7 meters up the building. Thank you for pointing out the error.
