Question 187541

</pre><font size=4><b>
This forms a Right Triangle isn't it? Let's see:
{{{drawing(400,400,-1,8,-1,11,line(0,0,0,10),line(0,0,6,0),line(-.2,10,-.2,10.5),line(-.2,10.5,.2,10.5),line(.2,10.5,.2,10),line(.2,10,-.2,10),green(line(.2,10,6,0)),green(locate(3,5,ladder=L=16ft)),green(locate(0,5,10ft)),red(locate(.25,10.5,Window)),green(locate(2,.7,Distance=x)))}}}
We know by Pyth.theorem
{{{L^2=x^2+10^2}}}
{{{x^2=16^2-10^2=256-100=156}}}
{{{x=sqrt(156)=red(12.50ft)}}}, Distance (Answer)


Thank you,
