5 squared plus x squared is equal to 10 squared ; x = 8.7 m, which is an irrational number and would be estimated to be 8.7 m.
Therefore, the ladder will reach approximately 8.7 meters up the building.
If the ladder is 10 m long and 5 m from the base of the building, how high up the building will the ladder reach?(1 point)Responses52+x2=10252+x2=102; x = 75 m, which is a rational, whole number5 squared plus x squared is equal to 10 squared ; x = 75 m, which is a rational, whole number 102+52=c2102+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 number102−−−√+52=c2102+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.52+x2=10252+x2=102; x = √75 m, which is an irrational number and would be estimated to be 8.7 m.
