You and your brother are painting a house. Your ladders are each the same length. If you both place the bottom of their ladders an equal distance away from the house, will each ladder reach to the same height on the house? Design to illustrate your answer, and generalize the theorem that convince your choice.

Keeping your feet on the legs of the ladder, have your helper push it slightly away from the house while you adjust its height. Move the ladder so the legs are 1 foot away from the wall for every 3 feet of height and make sure it's properly supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 = 576

a = 24

answer: b. 24 mm

i believe the correct answer is b.
