The local firemen have a 50 ft. ladder. They need to get to the top a 48 foot building. What is the maximum distance away from the building they can place the foot of the ladder so that the top of the ladder reaches the top of the building?

14 ft

Step-by-step explanation: 50^2=x^2+48^2(Pythagorean theorem)

x^2=2500-2304

x^2=196

x=14

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
