Question

if you have a 24 foot ladder that is leaning against the building and touching the ground 6 feet from the building. How high up the building is the top of the ladder? (1 point) Responses 62+b2=242 ; 23.24 ft 6 squared plus b squared is equal to 24 squared ; 23.24 ft 24^2+6^2=c^2 ; 24.7 ft 24 squared plus 6 squared is equal to c squared ; 24.7 ft 6^2+b^2=24^2 ; 24.7 ft 6 squared plus b squared is equal to 24 squared ; 24.7 ft a2+242=62 ; 23.24 ft

Answer 1

6^2 + b^2 = 24^2
36 + b^2 = 576
b^2 = 540
b = √540
b = 23.24 ft

The top of the ladder is approximately 23.24 feet up the building.
