A 22-foot ladder leans against a building. The distance between the bottom of the ladder and the base of the building is 9 feet.

Which statement is true when finding the height, in feet, where the ladder touches the building, h?
The equation to find h is 92+h2=222, and h is about 20.1 feet.
The equation to find h is 92+222=h2, and h is about 23.8 feet.
The equation to find h is 222+h2=92, and h is about 20.1 feet.
The equation to find h is 92+h2=222, and h is about 23.8 feet.

The statement "The equation to find h is 92+h2=222, and h is about 20.1 feet." is true when finding the height, in feet, where the ladder touches the building, h.

The correct statement when finding the height where the ladder touches the building is: The equation to find h is 92+h^2=222, and h is about 20.1 feet.
