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) Responses 52+x2=10252+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=10252+x2=102; x = √75 m, which is an irrational number and would be estimated to be 8.7 m. 5 squared plus x squared is equal to 10 squared ; x = √75 m, which is an irrational number and would be estimated to be 8.7 m. 102−−−√+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. 102+52=c2102+52=c2; c = 125 m, which is a rational, whole number

1 answer

5 squared plus x squared is equal to 10 squared

25 + x^2 = 100
x^2 = 75
x = √75
x ≈ 8.7

The ladder will reach approximately 8.7 meters up the building.
