A 26-foot ladder is placed against a house and reaches the 24-foot roof. If you want to find the distance between the base of the ladder and the base of the house, which of the following triangles could you use to model the problem?

Use a graph site then you will find your answer

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.

(x) - (y) = (1 + 4i)

(3 + 6i) - (2 + 2i) = (1 + 4i)
