Question 573337
A ladder is leaning against the side of a building. The ladder is 6ft. away from the building and touches the building at a point 8 ft. from the base. How long is the ladder?
-------------------
The ladder is the hypotenuse.
Sides of 6 & 8 --> 6, 8 & 10 triangle, 2x the 3, 4, 5 triangle.
--> 10 feet
--------------
{{{L = sqrt(6^2 + 8^2)}}}
L = 10
