A 13-foot long ladder leans against the wall. the foot of the ladder is at a distance of 5 feet from the base of the wall. What is the distance, in feet, from the ground to the ladder?

The distance, in feet, from the ground to the ladder is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we must use the Pythagorean Theorem- a^2+b^2=c^2. C is the hypotenuse, and a and b are legs.

We have: 5^2+b^2=13^2

Simplifying: 25+b^2=169

Subtracting 25 from both sides: b^2=144

B=12.

it could 14.28 but if its not that one then it has to be the 17 one. hope this ! : )

step-by-step explanation:

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,
