Question

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? (1 point) Responses

24^2+6^2=c2 ; 24.7 ft 24 squared plus 6 squared is equal to c squared ; 24.7 ft
6^2+b2=242 ; 24.7 ft 6 squared plus b squared is equal to 24 squared ; 24.7 ft
a^2+242=62 ; 23.24 ft A squared plus 24 squared is equal to 6 squared ; 23.24 ft
6^2+b2=242 ; 23.24 ft

24^2 + 6^2 = c^2

576 + 36 = c^2
612 = c^2
c = √612
c ≈ 24.7 ft

Therefore, the height up the building where the top of the ladder is located is approximately 24.7 feet.
