Question 805914: A ladder of length 26ft is placed against a building in such a way that the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground is 14ft more than the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building. Find both distances.
i thought i would use a^2 + b^2=c^2 the pythagoreum theory
a^2 + 14ft^2 =26ft^2
but the problem says 14 ft more so i wasn't sure if that equation was correct.

Question 806463: Hello all, I have tried to solve this problem but have had no such luck and have not found anything similar to replicate the problem, so any and all help would be appreciated! Not really sure how the Pythagorean theorem is supposed to solve this??
I was told that I need to draw a diagram and use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem:
Prairie Dawn is flying a kite on 65 feet of string. Its vertical distance from the ground is 10 feet less than twice its horizontal distance from Prairie Dawn. Assuming that the string is being held at ground level, find its horizontal distance from Prairie Dawn and its vertical distance from the ground.

Question 806831: I understand the basics of Pythagorean theorem. Right now, I am solving for the unknown side. lets just say were solving for the hypotoneuse.
7^2+9^2 =c^2
49+81=c^2
c= sqre rt of 130. I just don't understand how get the answer 11.402.
2 and 65 goes into 130 and then the square root of 65 is 5 and 13... I just don't undersant how we get 11.402.
THANK YOU! I am going to be taking a test where I cant use a calculator so I need to solve this on paper or in my head.

Question 808496: A rectangle has base length x+3, altitude length x+1, and diagonals of length 2x each. What are the lengths of its base, altitude, and diagonals?
I don't really know how I'm supposed to draw the rectangle, but what I've done is draw it short and long and put my x+3 across the bottom, my two diagonals going across, and then my altitude going up to where the diagonals intersect. Then I've tried using the usual a^2+b^2=c^2 I don't know if the diagonal I'm supposed to be using would just be x instead of 2x, since they're being cut in half by each other, but using 2x, I get x^2+8x+10=x^2 and using x I get 2x^2+8x+10=x^2, but neither of those give me the correct answer.
