If you have a 24 foot ladder that is leaning against the building and touching the ground 6 feet from the building. How high up the building is the top of the ladder?
h
(1 point)
6 ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = 24 ^ 2 23.24 ft
6 ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = 24 ^ 2 24.7 ft
O a ^ 2 + 24 ^ 2 = 6 ^ 2 23.24 ft
24 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 2 = c ^ 2 24.7 ft
6 ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = 24 ^ 2
36 + b ^ 2 = 576
b ^ 2 = 540
b = sqrt(540)
b ≈ 23.24 ft
Therefore, the top of the ladder is approximately 23.24 feet up the building.
