A 26 ft ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 10 ft from the wall. How tall is the top of the ladder on the wall?

the top of the ladder is at 24 feet from the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the unknown, since we notice that the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle formed by the horizontal distance from the wall to the base of the ladder, and the height of the top of the ladder against the wall. We need to find one of the triangle's sides given its hypotenuse and the other side, so we use the formula:

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide

8

step-by-step explanation:

just put √(2) * √(32) into a calculator. that will make the answer be 8.
