To find the distance from the top of the ladder to the base of the building, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
Let x be the distance from the top of the ladder to the base of the building.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 + 10^2 = 26^2
x^2 + 100 = 676
x^2 = 576
x = √576
x = 24
Therefore, the top of the ladder is approximately 24 feet from the base of the building. The answer is J. 24.
