I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP!! A cat gets stuck on the roof. If the latter is 12 feet long and must be placed 7 feet away from the building. How high can the ladder reach up the building to save the cat

your answer is 9.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

you apply Pythagorean theorem since you are looking for height you can subsitute x for a or b and since 12 is the largest number this will be your c which is your hypotneuse and 7 will be subsituted as a or b depending on what letter you used as your x value is equal too 49 +b^2 =144 you then subtract 49 on both sides to isolate your x (b) and this gets you 95 and then you find the square root of 95 which is 9.7

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2
