A building is 2 ft from an 11-ft fence
that surrounds the property. A worker
wants to wash a window in the building
16 ft from the ground. He plans to
place a ladder over the fence so it rests
against the building.
He decides he should place the ladder
7 At from the fence for stability. To the
nearest tenth of a foot, how long a
ladder will he need?

Answer:

19.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 16^2 + 11^2

c^2 = 256 + 121

c = √377 = 19.416
