2. The base of a ladder is 6 feet away from the wall. to the nearest tenth of a foot, how high is the top of the ladder from the floor?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. Using the Pythagorean theorem: the hypotenuse is side c (x in this problem) and a = 12 and b = 9, so... Take the square root of both sides.
The length of X is 15 units.
2. The answer to this question is...it depends on the length of the ladder, a critical piece of information that is not provided.
