I WILL GIVE 30 POINTS TO THOSE WHO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT. A 12-foot ladder is placed against a vertical Wall of a building with the bottom of the ladder standing on level ground 5 feet from the base of the building. How high up the wall does the ladder reach?

10.91 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 12feet and a base of 5feet.

See the attachment.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve.

Height = 10.91 feet.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
