touching the ground 6 feet from the building. How high up the building is
the top of the ladder?
(1 point)

O 6²+b²=24²; 23.24 ft

Oa²+24²=6²; 23.24 ft

O 24²+6²=c²; 24.7 ft

O 6² +b²=24²; 24.7 ft

Answer 1

6² + b² = 24²
36 + b² = 576
b² = 540
b = √540
b ≈ 23.24 feet

So, the top of the ladder is approximately 23.24 feet up the building.
