: A 13 foot ladder is leaned against a wall so that the ladder reaches a height of 12 feet on the wall. How far from the wall will the other end of the ladder be?
My answer is:
A^2 * B^2 = C^2
(12)^2 + B^2 = (25)^2
144 + B^2 = 625
B^2 = 481
B = 21.9317122 This question is from textbook Fundamentals of Algebric Modeling
