Question 10 10 pts
Miguel wants to repair his home. He places a 17-foot ladder against the side of the house 8feet
from the base of the house. What is the height of Miguel's home, x, from the ground to the top of
the ladder at the roof, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Explanation: The 17 foot ladder would be the hypotnuse of the triangle. The ladder is 8 feet from the building, giving you one of the legs. :p So if you square 17 and square 8 you get 289 - 64. 289 - 64 is 225. Then you find the square root of 225 and you get 15. I hope this answers your question!
