A 22-foot ladder leans against a building. The distance between the bottom of the ladder and the base of the building is 9 feet.
Which statement is true when finding the height, in feet, where the ladder touches the building, h?
The equation to find h is 92+h2=222, and h is about 20.1 feet.
The equation to find h is 92+222=h2, and h is about 23.8 feet.
The equation to find h is 222+h2=92, and h is about 20.1 feet.
The equation to find h is 92+h2=222, and h is about 23.8 feet.
