A13 ft ladder is leaning on a tree is on the ground at a distance of 5 ft from the base of the tree. what is the distance, in feet, between the ground and the top of the ladder.

You use pythagorean's theorem. 13 squared equals 169 and 5 squared equals 25. You then take the hypotenuse, 169, and subtract one of the legs, 25, to get 169-25= 144. You take the square root of that and get 12 ft.

Iam guessing c. or d.

Ithink the answer is b i hope it my friend message me if i’m wrong and i’ll change my answer and fix it for you
